Description

White House Farm is a charming village farmhouse, with a wonderful range of traditional former farm barns and outbuildings, located within the attractive village of Trunch. Grade II Listed and dating back to the 18th century, the farm was one of the major land holdings in the area with a historic link to the fabric of the village Enjoying a south facing position, overlooking mature gardens and beyond to old pasture, the house has a great presence. There is a good layout of accommodation, with some fine rooms including the dining room and drawing room leading out to the conservatory and into the walled garden. The walled garden lawn was originally designed as a lawn for bowling. A well-fitted kitchen has French doors leading to the delightful kitchen garden, with a comfortable sitting room and further useful rooms including study, library, utility and cellar.

All bedrooms are on the first floor, with six bedrooms, four of which are double bedrooms with a family bath/shower room and separate WC. There is a further shower room on the ground floor. There is fine period detail throughout the house, with York stone flooring, fireplaces, and sash windows. The house was subject to a thorough programme of refurbishment
in 2017/18 including re-wiring, re-plumbing, replacement windows and the installation of a biomass heating system. To the rear of the house is further walled garden, hosting a garden of raised beds and greenhouse, with central pergola and dining area. Further to the north is a further lawned area, with established orchard and potting sheds and looking out to a neighbouring arboretum. The orchard is a particularly beautiful and tranquil space with mature fruit trees. Further wooded areas wrap round the traditional barns. There is a post and railed fencing marking the boundary from the north to the east.

Outbuildings
A particular feature of the property is the range of attractive brick and flint outbuildings which have been regularly maintained so are in excellent repair, former agricultural buildings with either original and authentic internal space or which have been adapted for other uses. There are two yards which the barns are grouped round, with the initial bordered by two substantial barns with two floors providing stabling, storage, art studio, loft storage, workshops, garaging, and further storage rooms. The red barn has considerable use for dry storage but also offers further substantial garage facilities. The second yard includes further storage, open fronted cart bays and a substantial modern agricultural barns of steel
frame and brick part brick wall and measuring 76’10” x 38’7”.
To the rear of the house, with a separate courtyard is a further traditional outbuilding, in the design of a pair of small cottages, with useful storage rooms and stairs up to a first floor offering great potential. This building is home to the bio mass heating system. The outbuildings total over 10,000 square feet of internal space.
