Our Summary
- Description Situated within a lovely stretch of countryside, a manageable estate with an ancillary barn offering income potential or multi-generation living
- Notably, there is significant potential to extend this wing to mirror the southern elevation, creating a substantial open-plan kitchen (subject to the necessary consents)
- Having secured planning for ancillary accommodation in 2006, and subsequent permission for holiday let use in 2010, the property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a stylish guest cottage or a proven secondary income stream
- The planning permission for the barn to be converted to residential carries a section 106 prohibiting the barn to ever be sold off separately and to remain ancillary to the main house
- Planning for holiday let uses was also granted in 2010 In 1998 planning permission was granted for the demolition of the existing two-storey building with a replacement including pitch roof (Ref 98/00482)
- Also in 1998, planning permission was granted for erection of single-storey building over swimming pool (making an indoor pool complex under Ref 98/00928)
- Both these planning approvals are now lapsed but they appear on MDC website under Rockleys Farm back in 1998

Description
The property features a main house with approximately 3,650 sq ft of living space, blending Georgian elegance and rustic period charm. The house has a symmetrical facade, high-ceilinged reception rooms, and older wings with historic exposed timber framing. There are seven to eight bedrooms on the upper floor, including a principal suite with en suite facilities and a family shower room. The kitchen/breakfast room has a traditional AGA, and the house has potential to extend the service wing to create a substantial open-plan kitchen.
The property is set within beautiful, part-walled grounds with leisure and lifestyle facilities. These include an outdoor heated swimming pool with a tiled Roman end, a floodlit tennis court, a summerhouse with a sauna, hot tub, and changing facilities, and an all-weather manege for equestrian use. The grounds also feature well-serviced paddocks, outbuildings, garaging, and a range of structures including a cart lodge, a substantial barn, and a dedicated plant/machinery store.
An ancillary barn is also present on the estate, with approximately 1,868 sq ft of livable space. The barn has been converted to offer flexible, modern usage and has secured planning and permission for holiday let use. The barn features exposed timber framing, rustic brickwork, and a commanding limestone open fireplace, making it an ideal annex or guest cottage or secondary income stream.
