A Rural Gem with Big Possibilities — Renovate and Transform

Priced for Potential — Optional Outbuilding, Endless Value

Modernise, Personalise, and Make It Yours in Maud

Lee-Ann from Low and Partners presents you with The Farmhouse at Knaven, Maud — a spacious, characterful property sitting proudly on a generous plot with far-reaching countryside views. This three-bedroom home, offering approximately 169m² of internal space, requires modernisation but holds excellent potential to become a comfortable and welcoming family residence. It is being sold as priced solely for the house, with the option to acquire the substantial outbuilding separately for an additional amount. The valuation of the property reflects this flexibility, with £30,000 deducted to allow for a tailored purchase.

Upon entering, the property welcomes you into a vestibule featuring a double cupboard ideal for coats and outerwear. A partially glazed door draws you into the main hallway which leads to all accommodation, with a timber balustrade ascending to the upper level. The hallway is fitted with a radiator and ceiling lighting.

The sitting room features two windows, a carpeted floor, and retains an old fireplace that is no longer in use, offering scope for refurbishment. Adjacent lies the kitchen, a functional space with dual-aspect windows, fitted wall and base units with contrasting worktops, integrated appliances including oven, hob, dishwasher, and a breakfast bar. A radiator and ceiling lighting complete the room.

The bathroom offers a bath, separate shower unit, wash hand basin set into cabinetry, privacy window, WC, radiator and ceiling lighting. The dining room benefits from a window overlooking the garden, along with carpet, radiator, and lighting.

The lounge is a particularly inviting space with dual aspect windows, an open fire, carpeted flooring, lighting, and a radiator. Double glazed doors lead to the sunroom — a delightful area with windows on all sides, carpeting, garden views, and an electric wall heater.

The dining room is another inviting space with window overlooking the garden.

To the rear of the property lies a boiler room/utility space which would benefit from attention. It houses cabinetry, the boiler and water tank, along with a window for natural light.

Upstairs, the upper landing is illuminated by a Velux window and provides access to two built-in storage cupboards and is carpeted throughout.

The principal bedroom features a charming bay window, built-in wardrobes and drawers, carpet, lighting and a radiator.

Bedrooms two and three follow on from one another in a unique layout, both with bay windows, built-in cupboards, radiators and lighting. Bedroom three is accessed via a small flight of steps and also includes a bay window, built-in storage and all usual fixtures.

Externally, the property boasts a well-maintained and fenced garden filled with mature shrubs and trees, and benefits from stunning open views. A large driveway offers ample parking. Services to the house include oil-fired central heating, a septic tank, and mains water.

An optional outbuilding, a large shed in need of repair, is available separately for £30,000. While this structure has been factored into the home's overall valuation, the asking price reflects its exclusion to allow buyers the choice to include it.

With its generous proportions, versatile layout, and superb potential, The Farmhouse at Knaven offers a rare opportunity to create a wonderful rural home tailored to your own taste and lifestyle.
