Lower House Farm

A detached refurbished Grade II listed Georgian/Regency village house which has been tastefully refurbished throughout. Thought to have been built in the early 18th century, with extensive remodelling undertaken in the 19th century, Lower House Farm retains a range of original features including beams, shutters, skirting boards and doors. The two principal reception rooms, with fireplaces benefitting from inset stoves and views over the surrounding countryside, lead off a central hallway. The bespoke kitchen with granite work surfaces, Aga and is complimented by a matching utility and large boot room with guest WC off. The family/playroom also leads of the kitchen, and links the kitchen to the sitting room which gives the ground floor an open plan, versatile feel.

Off the first-floor landing is the principal bedroom suite with walk through dressing areas and bath/shower room and two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower. To the second floor there is a spacious landing with delightful views and two further double bedrooms served by a bathroom.

The house is beautifully presented throughout with far reaching country views and with the ability to add a beautiful two-story extension to the rear, with recently obtained planning permissions (ref: TWC/2022/0447).

Separate from the house is a beautifully converted single storey barn. Currently laid out as a home office with WC and kitchen, but has all of the necessities to become ancillary accommodation (subject to
the relevant consents).
