Description

New Mains is a fine example of a substantial walk-in condition rural property which benefits from the sought after and somewhat elusive additional outdoor space and buildings that so many purchasers are searching for, all in a delightful, secluded setting within easy reach of local amenities and transport routes.

New mains farmhouse

The house is predominantly of traditional stone and lime construction, under a pitched timber framed slate covered roof. The property benefits from timber sash and case windows throughout with secondary glazing, an lpg gas-fired central heating system and open fires in the public rooms for additional space heating. Water comes from the mains supply while drainage is via septic tank located within the grounds. Access is taken directly from the C401 public road via a short gravel drive that leads to the rear of the house with the outbuildings adjacent. There is a further (now largely disused) driveway around 40 metres south. Access to the paddock is currently taken via the main drive but a new access might be created from the public road if considered desirable.

Accommodation

New Mains Farmhouse is a large welcoming family home extending to approximately 333.3m2. While now requiring a degree of internal modernisation to bring it up to contemporary tastes, it has been well maintained and cared for by the current owners and is in move in condition. The accommodation includes a spacious entrance vestibule with stairs to the split level first floor which provides four bedroom and two bathrooms while on the ground floor there is a dining room, living room, an attractive country kitchen/diner, convenient and useful separate utility/boot room, WC and separate “back stair” to what would have been the servant’s quarters which could form a sixth bedroom or home office space. In addition, there is a second larger living room with open fire for additional space heating, office space and a small fifth bedroom or reading room/library.

Externally

New Mains sits within a large, mature and manicured garden. Laid predominantly to lawn with significant and well thought out areas of beds and borders which provide a rich and diverse collection of healthy, well-maintained plants, including colourful flowers, lush foliage, as well as trees and shrubs giving an exciting array of colour and fragrance throughout the year, as well as refuge for wildlife, all enclosed by a combination of established hedges and post and wire fencing.

The garden area to the east of the property would easily lend itself to a kailyaird or kitchen garden allowing one to providing produce for the table year round.

To the rear of the house, there are an extensive range of potentially useful outbuildings, including a traditional u-shaped steading with previous “infill” cattle courts which have now been partially demolished. The former cattle court areas might provide the footprint for a south facing walled garden or beautiful courtyard garden, providing relaxation and sanctuary or as an ideal area for outside entertaining.

There is also a large, gravelled area which provides parking for several cars and ample room for turning and unloading larger vehicles. The outbuildings might lend themselves to a variety of potential uses and reconfiguration such as for storage, studio/workshop space or stabling.

Paddock

This area has been laid to grass and cut regularly during the growing season and would be of immediate benefit for those interested in hobby farming or for equestrian use. Access to the paddock can be taken directly from the driveway making it handy for loading/unloading of horses/livestock. While there is currently no direct access from the main road, this could potentially be formed if required.
