Kenora Farm

Kenora Farm dates back to at least the 18th century with parts of the original house probably being much older. This delightful family home has been owned by the current owners for the past 40 years, during which time they have extensively remodelled, improved and extended it to create 3,282 sq ft of accommodation with an additional 1,182 sq ft of outbuildings.

The main house comprises a south facing front porch leading to the welcoming entrance hall with stone flag floors, from which can be found the cosy sitting room with open fireplace, the formal dining room, study room and fabulous garden room with underfloor heating and double patio doors leading outside the garden. The kitchen, which is a later extension, also has underfloor heating, is fully fitted and has doors and windows looking out onto the rear garden. The ground floor is completed by a useful, separate utility room, downstairs cloakroom with wc, shower, and boiler room.

The first floor accommodation includes a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, four further double bedrooms, one of which is used as a home office, a family bathroom and a large landing. The top floor loft has been converted to create an additional room with velux windows and additional loft storage.
Outside

The highlights of this house are found in the wonderful gardens and grounds totalling 2.07 acres, which the owners have poured their love and energy into over 40 years. To the front, the beautifully manicured lawns sweep up towards the main house, encircled by a delightfully pretty rhine. Surrounding the front lawn are wonderful flowerbeds, bursting with a plethora of flowering flora, shrubs and trees, as well as a decorative water feature. Furthermore, there is a walled and very productive vegetable garden, natural pond and a rear garden with a number of stone patio areas, perfect for outdoor dining, and enjoying the tranquillity of this private and secluded space. The rest of the plot includes a delightful woodland and cultivated apple orchard. The outbuildings, former stables and barns, now offer a large garage, a games room or workshop, a log store and storage shed, as well various green houses.
