Description

THE PROPERTY
Honeypot Farm is a most attractive south facing farmhouse set centrally within its own 9.4 acres of mature paddocks and gardens, with a long drive sweeping up to the house and outbuildings offering a peaceful and entirely private setting, yet convenient for access to the A47.The main house is a comfortable family home which has recently been the subject of a programme of improvements. This includes an impressive extension to provide a west facing family room with French doors out to the gardens and terrace and the installation of a bespoke Häcker kitchen breakfast room, boot room and shower room, all of which benefit from underfloor heating, a new boiler and water pressure system (2019). The house enjoys formal and informal rooms, in particular the dual aspect sitting room, dining room and a living room with wood burner. The delightful principal bedroom is complete with en suite bathroom with three further double bedrooms and a bathroom off the landing. All bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the gardens and grounds.

GARDENS AND LAND
Honeypot Farm is approached from the south, through impressive wrought iron gates mounted on brick pillars onto a driveway sweeping through the grounds and paddocks up to a parking and turning area adjoin the house. The drive continues on to the outbuildings and stabling. The delightful gardens are to the south, south-west of the house, and mainly laid to lawn with well stocked herbaceous beds and interspersed with specimen trees. Adjoining the house to the west is a terrace perfect for outside dining, and a pond set within this area, with climbing roses and vine trained to the house. The remainder of land comprises post and railed and stock proof fenced paddocks, with established and well managed grazing.

EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES AND OUTBUILDINGS
The farm benefits from an excellent range of outbuildings, with traditionally built garaging and storage rooms and a large general purpose steel frame barn, suitable for a variety of uses but most recently used for the storage of machinery. The farm is well served by equestrian facilities, with an excellent all weather manége, with membrane and drainage. The stabling, tack room, and hay store is conveniently under one roof, situated in a substantial steel frame barn with six loose boxes, tack room and store room. There is a good hacking locally.
