5 bedroom house

Park Farm is an attractive and spacious Grade II Listed family home that is believed to date from the early 16th Century.

The property is approached off a quiet rural lane that is shared by only two other properties. There is plenty of parking within the driveway that is accessed just beyond the house on the left hand side. The rear door leads into the rear hallway off which is a cloakroom/MC and the impressive kitchen/breakfast room in front. This spacious living room has a high vaulted ceiling, timber flooring, under-floor heating, exposed beams and full-height windows with French doors leading out to the front and central courtyard garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and a centre island with granite surfaces and integrated appliances including a Miele microwave, Miele coffee machine and dishwasher. There is a Britannia range cooker and space for large fridge/freezer. To the other side of the rear hallway is the dining room that has a slate floor, timber panelling, built-in storage cupboards and a fireplace with stone hearth with a beam over it, within which is a wood-burning stove. Beyond is the entrance hallway that has a slate tiled floor, timber panelling, exposed ceiling beams and stairs leading up to the first floor.

The front door leads out to the open porch and to the central courtyard garden beyond. To the other side of the entrance hallway is the dual-aspect sitting room with a timbered floor, exposed ceiling beams and a large inglenook fireplace with a heavy beam over it and a wood burning stove within. Beyond is a study/snug with ceiling beams and a brick-paved floor and a wood burner. Off the study is the utility room that has a tiled floor, a stainless steel sink and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer. There is an external oil-fired boiler for domestic hot water and central heating. Also off the study is the fifth bedroom, a ground floor, double bedroom with exposed stone walling and an en suite shower room off it. There is also an external door from the bedroom into the garden. The study/snug leads through to the principal bedroom suite with a ground floor bathroom (with both a bath and a shower) that leads through and down some steps to a dressing room with a range of built-in wardrobes. Stairs lead up to the principal bedroom above that has a vaulted ceiling and wonderful views out across the Taw Valley.

From the entrance hallway stairs lead up to the large and spacious first floor landing off which are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Two of the three bedrooms also enjoy the wonderful rural views out across the Taw Valley.

Gardens and grounds
There is an attractive, paved, central courtyard to the front of the house that is perfect of entertaining and alfresco dining. Opposite is a two storey barn that has potential (subject to planning) to be converted into additional accommodation. To the side is an attractive, part paved garden and to the rear there is a patio that leads up to the lawned rear gardens with a raised decking area and summer house.

Outbuildings
To the side of the house is a parking and turning area with access to a two bay, timber-framed carport. Adjoining the house is an open stone/cob barn with a corrugated iron roof. Set across the driveway/lane is a stone and slate coach house with two useful storage rooms, one of which is ideal as a games room. The former shippon has a loft over it and kennels below. There is also planning consent Adjoining it is an open carport and shed and a large, more modern general purpose shed with potential for a variety of uses.

The Land
This mainly lies to the rear of the house and comprises well fenced pasture paddocks gently rising up and taking full advantage of the tremendous views that are enjoyed along a long swathe of the Taw Valley. In the northern corner of the land is a timber framed field shelter and another large new field shelter.
