Horns Farmhouse

Horns Farmhouse was originally built as a two-up two-down farmhouse around 200 years ago, the existing structure was retained, refurbished and extensively extended, including a new roof in the mid 1980s. The later construction used a mixture of reclaimed and new materials blending as sympathetically as possible with its surroundings. Externally this can best be appreciated in the oak windows with leaded lights, half-glazed panelled oak doors, and brick eaves and verge detailing. Internally, antique lighting blends with modern and the original features of the old rooms have been retained.

The drawing room has exposed beams and a brick inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove with a door opening to the garden. The focal point of the atmospheric dining room is an attractive working fireplace and surround.

There is a charming study with recessed book shelving. From this room double part-glazed doors open to a conservatory that was added to the southern elevation in 2000 and allows views of the garden that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

The large, fitted kitchen/breakfast room has a large inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove and a cool pantry. Appliances include a single and double electric oven and a gas hob, with space for a dishwasher and an American fridge freezer. Off the kitchen is a large, fitted utility room with space for a separate washing machine and tumble dryer, with a door leading to the cloakroom.

Upstairs the principal bedroom has a large en-suite with a bath and a double shower. Two further double bedrooms are served by a well appointed family shower room. On the second floor the attic living space is deceptively spacious. Stairs rise to a galleried double bedroom with an en-suite fitted with a single shower. A further door opens to a large fifth bedroom with potential to create an independent access.

Bordering the house on three sunny elevations, is a half acre hedge-enclosed paddock (potential to create a long private drive through it leading to the house, subject to planning consent), a tree filled mature garden with winding pathways, a rose walk, peaceful seating area and an often fragrant south-facing walled courtyard, paved in old stone. Access to the property and its double garage is gained along a quiet lane on which just three well-distanced houses sit.
