Description
Waffapool – A Stunning Detached Period Farmhouse with 12 Acres, Equestrian Facilities & Idyllic Woodland
Nestled in a breathtakingly private setting, Waffapool is an exceptional period farmhouse offering spacious, beautifully presented accommodation with endless versatility. Currently configured as a four-bedroom main residence alongside a charming one-bedroom self-contained annex (with no usage restrictions), this property presents a unique opportunity. Whether used as a holiday let, private rental, Airbnb, or seamlessly incorporated back into the main house to create a five-bedroom home, the choice is yours.
Set within approximately 11.35 acres, this idyllic smallholding boasts a superb mix of grazing land, mature woodland, a picturesque lake, and the tranquil brook. Designed with equestrian enthusiasts in mind, the property features a 40m x 20m menage with rubber surfacing, dedicated turnout areas, and a range of stables and outbuildings suited for various hobbies and practical uses.
Main Residence
A welcoming entrance porch leads into the main hall, providing access to both reception rooms:
• The dining room/home office showcases stunning exposed beams and brickwork, complete with a characterful Inglenook fireplace. This space also offers direct access to the annex, should you wish to integrate it into the main home.
• The living room is a warm and inviting space, featuring a large Inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, an original bread oven, and exposed beams, adding to the property’s period charm.
The kitchen/dining room is a true family hub, thoughtfully designed with:
• An extensive range of stone and oak cabinetry
• Stone worktops and a solid oak island
• A Belfast sink
• Rangemaster cooker, double oven, fridge freezer, and built-in dishwasher
From here, access leads to a spacious utility room with solid slate flagstone flooring and a beautifully bright conservatory, ideal for enjoying the surrounding views year-round.
First Floor
Upstairs, the property benefits from four generously sized double bedrooms. The dual-aspect principal suite enjoys stunning views over the grounds, along with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite featuring a jacuzzi bath and separate shower. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, offering a bath, walk-in shower, WC, and sink with underfloor heating.
Self-Contained Annex
Providing additional accommodation, the one-bedroom annex has been tastefully updated by the current owners. Previously used as a long-term rental, it also holds great potential as a successful holiday let or independent living space for family members.
Set over two stories, the annex includes:
• A stylish kitchen with a double oven, induction hob, and Belfast sink
• A charming dining area with an exposed chimney
• A comfortable living room with a log burner
• A luxurious bathroom with a jacuzzi/whirlpool bath, walk-in shower, vanity unit, and WC
• A spacious double bedroom upstairs, complete with exposed beams and under-eaves storage
Externally, the annex boasts a private garden with a sunny patio and lawned area, offering the perfect retreat.

The property is approached via a long, sweeping driveway secured by a five-bar gate, leading to extensive parking, including space for a horsebox, caravan, or boat.
The land extends to approximately 11.35 acres, featuring:
