Description

The Stockton House Estate is centred around the historic Stockton House which is a three storey period residence which is believed to date from the 16th Century and which was fully restored by the current seller when it was purchased in 2011. The house has a wealth of character including much fine timbering, a superb flow of living areas to the ground floor together with six bedrooms and three bath / shower rooms to the upper two floors. There is Starlink satellite internet connection currently connected that serves Stockton House and the Office Barn.

At the same time that Stockton House was refurbished a range of former agricultural buildings were converted to create Dog Leg Barn which is a substantial five bedroom house in its own right. Dog Leg Barn has been finished to a superb, contemporary fashion with the focal point of the property being the outstanding living / dining / kitchen. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms to the first floor together with a fifth bedroom with a shower room en-suite to the ground floor which, together with the sitting room and family room could form the basis for a self contained ground floor annex.

A further barn was converted to provide high quality, bespoke officing over two floors with extensive office provision of just over 2,000 sq ft in total.

In addition there is a substantial range of out buildings for which Planning Permission has recently been secured for the conversion to provide two three bedroom properties.
