5 bedroom house

Description

The substantial period farmhouse, parts dating back to 18th century, stands at the end of the long sweeping driveway providing safety and security. A little before the farmhouse is the former gatekeepers cottage, also used as a granny annexe. In front of the farmhouse is an extensive turning circle, to the side an agricultural barn and car parking. On the far side of the gravelled drive is the large agricultural barn which now forms part of the events venue with a large adjoining kitchen/dining room/sitting room and on the other side a block of toilets. An impressive detached barn has been converted to a high specification providing family accommodation including 5 bedrooms and beyond this a smaller converted barn having two bedrooms and an open plan kitchen/living area. Surrounding the houses and buildings are landscaped gardens, grounds with ponds and ornamental trees with pasture and woodland extending to approximately 50 acres.

Outside

A long private driveway leads to the farmhouse with a tear drop shaped turning area to the front of the property which also leads to the events area. The house has an enclosed rear garden accessed via a picket fence, laid to lawn, bordered by flower beds, fruit trees and pond.

There is an overflow pond to the right of the driveway and approximately half way along the drive a driveway forks off to the left sweeping around the fields and a large lily pond with jetty for boating or fishing, to the barns, events buildings and car parking. Further along the driveway is the drive leading off to Alder Cottage.

Near The Farmhouse is a large Pole Barn constructed in 1996 and accessed from the farmhouse driveway or the entertainment area. The building has the potential for numerous agricultural/equestrian possibilities or general storage/garaging or workshop space.

The Land

In excess of 50 acres of good pasture land divided into fields and bounded by hedging. There are planted deciduous woodland areas, one of which runs down to Maesbrook stream. The fields are gently rolling, surrounding the house, barns and buildings and would be ideal for horses and livestock or could just be enjoyed for the peace and tranquillity. Closer to the house is a lovely large pond, with a jetty and stocked with carp.
