martin's view
Grade II Listed · Circa 1700

Centuries of character. Miles of uninterrupted views. A home of rare distinction.

Dating to circa 1700, Martins View is an exceptional Grade II listed farmhouse where architectural heritage meets beautifully considered modern living. Thoughtfully extended, it retains the warmth and authenticity of its origins, with generous spaces designed for entertaining and everyday retreat.

Beyond iron gates, a paved driveway creates an elegant approach. Inside, original beams, exposed stone and solid stone floors lend texture and timeless appeal, while underfloor heating brings a quiet layer of contemporary comfort. A double-sided multi-fuel fireplace forms a striking centrepiece, connecting the living spaces with warmth and atmosphere.

The navy and cream solid-wood kitchen leads into a vaulted dining and living area, where the sense of space is matched by the outlook. Sliding doors open onto a raised terrace, inviting long lunches, evening drinks and moments of stillness against a landscape stretching for miles.

Offering three or four bedrooms, Old Lindley also presents an opportunity to create something truly personal. Planning permission to convert the double garage into a substantial principal suite or two additional bedrooms allows the next chapter of this historic home to be shaped around you.

The ground floor

Entrance Hallway

A timber door with glass panelling opens into an inviting entrance hall, where solid stone flooring, warmed by underfloor heating, creates an immediate sense of quality and comfort. A feature panelled wall adds depth and elegance, while a staircase with a glass balustrade rises beside a glass internal window, introducing a contemporary touch.

The hall provides access to the ground-floor bathroom, integrated garage and kitchen, and leads through to the open-plan living and dining space, offering a beautifully considered introduction to the home.

Kitchen

At the heart of Martin's View the kitchen is a beautifully appointed space that pairs classic craftsmanship with a rich, contemporary palette. Contrasting navy and cream solid-wood cabinetry sits beneath solid-wood worktops, bringing warmth and understated elegance to this impressive room.

A large range cooker, with a six-ring electric hob and extractor, is framed by a feature glass splash-back, while a generous double Belfast sink sits beneath a large window overlooking the front of the property. Space for an American-style fridge freezer and dishwasher completes a kitchen designed as much for everyday living as for entertaining.

Solid stone flooring, warmed by underfloor heating, flows seamlessly into the adjoining dining and living area. The open-plan arrangement creates a wonderful sense of scale and connection, allowing cooking, conversation and relaxed gatherings to unfold in one inviting space.

Dining/Living Room

Flowing from the kitchen, the open-plan dining and living area is a spectacular space, with expansive glazing wrapping around the rear to frame views that stretch for miles. Two Velux windows draw light from above, while two sliding doors open onto a stone-paved seating terrace, creating a beautiful connection between the interior and the landscape beyond.

A substantial stone chimney breast houses a double-sided multi-fuel stove, shared with the adjoining living room, while a second multi-fuel stove brings further warmth and atmosphere to this space. Solid stone flooring with underfloor heating continues throughout, complemented by contemporary lighting.

With generous room for dining and relaxing, this is a setting equally suited to lively gatherings and quiet evenings by the fire, with the far-reaching outlook taking centre stage.

Ground Floor Bathroom

The ground-floor wet room is beautifully appointed, with fully tiled walls and solid stone flooring warmed by underfloor heating. A generous rainfall shower brings a touch of everyday luxury, complemented by a large washbasin and WC. A privacy window to the front allows natural light into the room, creating a bright and comfortable space with the convenience of ground-floor access.

Living Room

Rich in character, the original living room offers a generous additional reception space, where exposed beams and a feature stone wall reflect the home’s historic charm. A double-sided multi-fuel stove, shared with the adjoining dining area, creates a welcoming focal point and a warm setting for relaxed evenings.

Two windows to the front and two to the rear give the room a lovely dual aspect, while the original timber entrance door preserves a connection to the farmhouse’s past. A solid oak staircase rises to the first floor, adding further warmth and craftsmanship to this beautifully proportioned room.

Garage

Accessed directly from the entrance hall, the generous integral garage features two doors to the front and a useful ground-floor utility area, providing ample space for storage and everyday practicalities.

With planning permission already granted to introduce an upper floor, this space also offers an exciting opportunity to enhance the home. The approved scheme allows for a substantial principal suite or two additional bedrooms, with large windows to the front and rear, potentially creating a five- or six-bedroom property.

With an indicative conversion cost of approximately £25,000, as advised by the owner, this is a compelling opportunity to tailor Martins View to your needs and add a new chapter to its distinguished history.
