Description
Coggers Farm is an exceptionally well presented period farmhouse, which in recent years has been substantially enlarged and refurbished to a very high standard using good quality materials and fittings throughout. The elevations are brick with blue and grey headers, part tile-hung beneath a tiled roof.
The interior has retained original features including old oak timbering and inglenook fireplaces, with the more recent additions further enhanced by the excellent use of oak joinery. There is oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout.
For those with equestrian interests, a bridle path leads directly from the property to the Cuckoo Trail, which is ideal for safe hacking, and Golden Cross Equestrian Centre is some 4 miles.
The main features of the property include:
• Oak front door to entrance hall with quarry tiled floor and access to cloakroom. Another oak door leads into the sitting room, which also has quarry tiled flooring, doors leading to the front terrace and staircase to the first floor.
• The kitchen/breakfast/family room is a particular highlight and forms a wonderful entertaining space with doors out to the sun-trap wall enclosed courtyard with swimming pool. This outside area is ideal for entertaining and together with the house is wired for an integral and external Bang & Olufsen sound system. The kitchen has a walk in larder, twin butler sink inset into wooden work surfaces with extensive range of cupboards and drawers beneath and above.
