The Old Farmhouse

This intriguing and deceptively spacious country home was created from a stone barn once belonging to The Old Farmhouse and is attached to the original farmhouse. The present owners have uplifted the original barn conversion with a well designed bespoke handmade kitchen with granite work surfaces, ample cupboards, limestone floor, and a Rangemaster Kitchener with a six-ring electric ceramic hob. An Oak stable door leads through to the boot room/utility, with a newly installed Grant oil fired boiler, range of cupboards with granite work surfaces and an inset Belfast sink and has stable doors to the outside. There is a cloakroom, with a wc and a marble bowl wash basin set upon an oak cupboard. The reception room is well proportioned, has an engineered oak floor and an inglenook style fireplace with woodburning stove. There is ample room for a dining table and French doors lead out into the garden. An oak turning staircase leads to a galleried landing and to the principal bedroom with excellent built-in cupboards and a beautifully fitted en suite shower room with walk in shower, wc, and two stone bowl wash basins, set on an oak top with cupboards below.

There is a built-in airing cupboard. An inner landing with exposed roof timbers provides an area for a small home office and leads to a guest bedroom with deep built-in cupboards and two similar size bedrooms with exposed ceiling timbers and a family bathroom.

Excellent quality materials include the oak framed double glazed windows throughout, limestone flooring, Oak internal doors with wrought iron Anvil fittings in pewter furniture and neutral decorations have been used to create this comfortable country home.
