Description - Upcott Farm is an attractive and charming Grade II Listed property, believed to date back to the mid 1600's. The property offers substantial accommodation and has been improved over time creating a superb family home in a glorious rural setting.

The sitting and drawing rooms both feature slate flooring, inglenook fireplaces with wood burning stoves, and exposed beam work. Additionally, the sitting room features some attractive plaster work as well as ceiling cornices. Situated to the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of farmhouse-style units, with attractive terracotta flooring and access to under stairs storage which could be used as a pantry. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom, large utility room, scullery and a boot room.
On the first floor there are six double bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two en suites. The master bedroom has traditional timber flooring and a dual aspect including an outlook across the land and the wonderful rural views beyond.
