Vendor's Insight

"I have owned the farm for just over 14 years and originally there was a very rundown old house sitting on the land, " says the owner. “It had been owned for many years by the Coal Board but had been left to fall into a really sorry state of repair, so we decided to take it down and build this beautiful home in its place. It took 3 years to complete, but all the time and hard work was well worth it because we have created a really outstanding family home."

"Externally the house has been designed to look like a really beautiful old Georgian country house, so it fits perfectly within these lovely rural surroundings, and inside it’s very grand, the rooms are all exceptionally well proportioned and each of the main living areas radiates from a really impressive central reception hall, so the layout flows beautifully. We’ve given the interior quite a traditional look and feel to complement the style of the building, but the kitchen and bathrooms have a more modern twist, so there’s a really nice balance between old and new."

"As well as building a lovely big family home, we were also keen for the house as a whole to have a really low impact on the environment, so it’s been designed to be totally off grid. It boasts a wind turbine, solar panels and a Farm 2000 wood fired boiler, and so although it’s a very big house, it’s incredibly eco-friendly and energy efficient to run."

"The house sits in around 47 acres of land, which we used to farm, but which is now rented out to another farmer, " continues the owner. "It’s the most stunning place to live because it’s so incredibly peaceful and the views are just lovely for as far as the eye can see. Just outside the French doors that lead from the dining room we have a lovely big patio terrace and a large area of lawn, and beyond the garden is nothing but open fields. We also have an area of woodland, which is an absolute haven for wildlife, and a small lake that is well stocked with fish. It’s all so lovely and when I sit out there and gaze at those amazing views, I find it so hard to believe that we’re within striking distance of two thriving towns."*
