Skeafe House presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful period property in a truly secluded setting, having been in the current owners tenure for over 50 years. Surrounded by mature woodland and rolling farmland, this traditional stone-built home with south facing views to the front requires modernisation, offering incoming purchasers the chance to create a bespoke countryside retreat. Displaying charming stone elevations and multi-pane windows, the property is brimming with untapped potential.

The ground-floor accommodation is entered via a practical porch, leading into a tiled hallway and utility area. From here, there is access to the family bathroom and the kitchen, which provides space for essential appliances and enjoys views across the rear of the property. The heart of the home is the characterful living room, centred around an exposed stone fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. A substantial dark timber ceiling beam and deep window sills further enhance the room's traditional rural character. An enclosed staircase rises to the first floor, where there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. Both rooms enjoy attractive aspects across the surrounding countryside, with elevated views over the property's rural surroundings and an abundance of natural light. Outside, the property is approached via a long private unmade track, ensuring exceptional privacy and a sense of complete seclusion. Extending in total to approximately 25 acres, the land comprises around 10 acres of grassland and 15 acres of woodland predominently young Oak Beech, Willow and Spruce trees, enhancing the property's sense of seclusion and offering excellent opportunities for equestrian, conservation and recreational pursuits.

Further enhancing the property's appeal is a collection of traditional brick and stone outbuildings, including an attached store, a separate stable and a detached outbuilding. These versatile structures provide useful storage and offer potential for a variety of ancillary uses, subject to any necessary consents.
