About this property

A rare and compelling lifestyle opportunity, this exceptional five-bedroom detached farmhouse is gracefully positioned within approximately 1.6 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, offering an enviable blend of refined country living and established income potential.

Set amidst a picturesque semi-rural landscape, the property enjoys far-reaching views across open fields, creating a sense of tranquillity while remaining conveniently accessible to nearby amenities. The approach is immediately impressive, with the farmhouse revealing itself as a handsome and substantial residence, rich in character and charm.

The main residence extends to five well-proportioned bedrooms with a modern shower room and en suite bathroom to the principal bedroom, complemented by a series of elegant reception spaces including two wood burners balancing traditional features with modern comfort. The 25ft kitchen/diner is complete with an AGA and a walk-in pantry as well as a spacious utility room and home office. Generous windows frame the surrounding countryside, allowing natural light to flood the interiors and ensuring a constant connection to the idyllic setting.

Beyond the main residence lies a particularly exciting aspect of the Property: an additional four high-end, fully operational holiday lets. Thoughtfully designed and finished to an exceptional standard, each unit is dog-friendly and tailored to meet the growing demand for premium rural retreats. The four cottages offer flexible accommodation, comprising of one cottage sleeping two guests, two cottages sleeping four guests, and a larger cottage accommodating up to six guests. The current owners have informed us that these units provide a lucrative and well-established gross income stream of around £140,000 per year, making the property equally appealing as a lifestyle purchase or a business investment.

The grounds themselves are both expansive and versatile, offering a mix of formal garden areas and open space, ideal for leisure, entertaining, or further enhancement. A range of useful outbuildings add significant flexibility and storage potential, with several benefitting from planning permission for conversion. This presents a superb opportunity to create additional accommodation to the farmhouse if so desired.

The holiday lets are approached via a private sweeping drive which provides access to a parking area with EV electric car charger points. The farmhouse itself offers an extensive driveway with ample parking as well as a detached cart shed with electric door, power and light and overhead storage space.
The farmhouse and holiday lets are all double glazed with LPG gas central heating, in addition there are a range of thermal solar panels installed with energy efficiency in mind.

In summary, this is a distinguished country home of considerable character and versatility, offering an exceptional combination of elegant living, income generation, and future potential, set within a truly captivating landscape. Whilst only being a short drive to two beautiful dog-friendly beaches.
