This five-bedroom, five-bathroom generous detached house occupies an impressive 45 acres of mostly protected land, offering a fantastic lifestyle opportunity, with lovely gardens, paddocks, and extensive private parking. The home is situated just outside West Linton and boasts a truly tranquil location, with wonderful open views from most windows. As well as its peaceful location, the house lies within easy reach of charming West Linton and its reliable village amenities, as well as road links connecting across the county and further afield.
The home is kept warm by a combination of oil and LPG-fired central heating (with the Worcester gas boiler replaced in 2017), and the windows are all double glazed.
Gardens, land, and parking – Delightful, mature gardens, acres of protected land, and excellent private parking
The home is set in approximately 45 acres of land. This includes about an acre for the house and its lovely gardens, two paddocks occupying about an acre and a half combined, with the rest of the land consisting of extensive peat bogs, which is all protected land that can’t be built on and is a local biodiversity site.
The gardens are beautifully maintained, with spacious, well-kept lawns, a wealth of mature, tall trees, leafy shrubbery, and planting, two characterful follies, and several decked areas for outdoor dining furniture and summer barbecues. The gardens will undoubtedly keep those with green fingers very happy and busy throughout the year, and the outdoor space is sure to appeal to those with children and animals. The paddocks (one with a stable) create an exciting opportunity to keep various types of animals, with the current owners having had a diverse range over the years, including rescue donkeys, ducks, and ponies, offering a unique and exciting lifestyle opportunity. There is also a large outbuilding offering extensive storage/workspace.
To the front of the house, a large driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings (except selected curtains), light fittings (one current light fitting will be replaced with a different one), and integrated kitchen appliances will be included in the sale.
