6 bedroom detached house for sale

A fabulous unlisted home, as is, as well as a unique development opportunity for a truly private rural estate. Far Park is an impressive Cotswold stone house, approached via a sweeping private drive and set beautifully within approximately 120 acres of its own land. The house sits well within the plot, enjoying a sense of seclusion and privacy, with far-reaching views across its surrounding gardens, woodland and meadowland. The main house offers generous, versatile accommodation, providing ample space for everyday family living and entertaining. The ground floor comprises well-proportioned reception areas, including a magnificent double-height living room with mezzanine above, complemented by a separate kitchen. Far Park has six bedrooms and three bathrooms, creating a substantial, highly adaptable family home. While Far Park is currently very comfortable and perfectly habitable, it also offers incoming owners an exciting opportunity to enhance and personalise both the house, the barn and the surrounding gardens to suit their vision. Initial concept sketches have been prepared by Christian Fleming Architects and are included within the brochure. Further details can be made available on request. All proposed works would, of course, be subject to the necessary planning consents. Gardens and grounds: The gardens and grounds at Far Park are a particularly special feature, extending to approximately 40 acres immediately surrounding the house and providing a beautiful, unspoilt setting. Beyond this lie a further 80 acres of gently rolling meadow and mature woodland, which run parallel to and are intersected by the River Churn, creating a rich and varied landscape with excellent biodiversity. The land has traditionally supported grazing sheep and would equally lend itself to equestrian use, with ample space for paddocks and the potential to introduce stabling, subject to the necessary consents. The woodland remains ideally suited to a variety of sporting and recreational pursuits. At the same time, the river adds both visual interest and a sense of tranquillity as it flows through the property. Together, the gardens, meadow and woodland offer a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly private rural estate, combining beauty, amenity and lifestyle appeal. Far Park used to hold a private shoot, and with its other amenities, could be ideal for those looking to create a stunning, bespoke private sporting estate. Services: Mains electricity and water. Oil-fired central heating. Private drainage.
