3 bedroom detached house for sale

This exceptional three bedroom detached house, is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored 17th century farmhouse and attached 16th century barn conversion, blending historic charm, with modern convenience, in an idyllic edge of village setting.

The property has undergone a comprehensive restoration, including conversion of the barn, complete rewiring and re-plumbing of the house. It also benefits from a Kingspan BioDisc waste treatment plant, ensuring peace of mind for the new owners.

The heart of the home is the stunning oak framed converted barn, dating from the Tudor period, finished to contemporary standards with luxurious underfloor heating, a contemporary wood burning stove and a striking reclaimed Yorkstone floor. The open-plan vaulted kitchen, dining, and family room created, offers a magnificent space for entertaining and everyday living, while original beams have been thoughtfully retained to preserve the character of the building.

Throughout the farmhouse, many original features are showcased. This includes the characterful dining room, once used as a dairy, displaying an exposed sandstone wall and part of the original Tudor timber barn wall. The living room features an impressive sandstone inglenook fireplace with log burning stove, Georgian floor tiles, and a significant historic front door, with its original key dated to 1605, now displayed in a frame beside the fireplace for all to admire. It is truly remarkable to consider that this home stood during the time of William Shakespeare, and its rich heritage is evident in every detail. Modern comforts have been seamlessly integrated, including ultrafast fibre broadband direct to the property, a recently installed boiler and handmade internal panelling, ensuring the home is ready for contemporary living. The original kitchen scullery has been converted to a bright, dual aspect, study, with underfloor heating and exposed beams.

The accommodation is beautifully presented and offers three spacious bedrooms with the Master bedroom benefitting from original exposed oak floorboards, panelled walls and a generous ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two was once used as a cheese loft and is now a bright dual-aspect room with an ensuite WC and wash basin. The spacious attic room provides the added potential to create a fourth bedroom, with ensuite (planning permission and listed building consent for this conversion and skylights are already in place).

The property is further enhanced by large garaging and workshops, providing ample space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage, as well as a brick built laundry and boiler rooms for added practicality. A securely fenced .75 acre paddock lies adjacent, complete with a block built stable, water supply and hay store, perfect for equestrian pursuits or those seeking additional land.

The house sits within pretty south facing cottage gardens on a plot of approximately .45 of an acre, thoughtfully stocked with a variety of plants and shrubs. A stunning raised bed, walled rose garden and a wildflower meadow area lie to the rear of the property.

The property enjoys dark skies and a tranquil, peaceful location, yet remains conveniently close to local facilities and transport links, offering the best of both worlds. Wonderful country walks and hacking routes are right on the doorstep, making this an ideal setting for lovers of the outdoors. The property falls within the catchment area for highly regarded schools, including Madeley High School and Baldwins Gate Primary school.

This is a truly special and much loved home, where centuries of history meet refined modern living, offering space, privacy and versatility in a breathtaking rural setting. Rarely does a property of such character, quality and lifestyle appeal come to the market. A truly exceptional opportunity to own a unique and wonderful heritage home, perfectly equipped for contemporary family life.
