Set within approximately half an acre of private, south-facing grounds, this substantial and highly individual family home extends to around 4,500 sq ft of accommodation, complemented by a further 1,600 sq ft of outbuildings. Now in need of comprehensive refurbishment, the property presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a unique collection of converted farm buildings in a secluded Ansdell setting.
The accommodation comprises seven bedrooms in total, including five bedrooms within the main residence and a separate two-bedroom self-contained cottage, alongside four principal reception rooms. The former farm buildings were converted during the 1980s, with the main house itself having originally been a barn.
To the ground floor of the main house is an extensive and versatile layout, including an impressive open-plan, split-level living area featuring a large barn window, exposed character and a striking feature fireplace and chimney. Additional ground-floor spaces include a dining room, entrance hall, kitchen, morning room, snug, conservatory, cloakroom and WC, together with a utility room and pantry. Adjoining the utility area is a pool-pump room, changing room with shower and a separate WC. A former garage has been converted into a large playroom, which also provides access to a covered parking area for two vehicles with a storage loft above.
The first floor of the main house offers five bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and exposed original beams, and a family bathroom. Three of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, while the principal bedroom further enjoys a seating area and a dressing room.
The self-contained cottage, believed to date back to the early 1800s and accessed via its own private entrance, offers additional accommodation with three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a storage room to the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor—ideal for extended family, guests or ancillary use.
Externally, the property is approached through electric gates opening onto an impressive 100-metre driveway, flanked by woodland and leading to the former Woodlands Farm and the Wood Keeper’s Cottage. The grounds are unoverlooked and entirely hidden from public view, creating a rare sense of privacy. The south-facing gardens and swimming pool are reported to have been designed by a Chelsea Flower Show award-winning designer.
Further outbuildings include a stand-alone 930 sq ft garage block, providing both a two-car and four-car garage.
