possibly older, Rookery Farm House makes a
stunning family home filled with character and
period features.

The
generous ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming through reception hall with flagstone flooring and an attractive turned staircase and comprises an elegant drawing room with feature cornicing and a fireplace with woodburning stove, flanked by built-in storage and shelving. There is also a generous sitting room with a large bay window and feature fireplace and a good sized dining room with a feature inglenook open fireplace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with aga, a large neighbouring fitted utility room and adjacent cloakroom.

Accessible over two staircases rising from the
reception hall and kitchen/breakfast room, the first floor offers a generous principal bedroom with built-in storage and a large en suite bathroom, two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The property’s two remaining bedrooms can be found on the second floor, both featuring exposed A frame beams with characterful
dormer windows and spectaular views.

The property is approached via a wide gravel
driveway providing extensive parking and giving
access to the garage. Rookery Farm House is
bordered to the front by a lovely old flint wall with pillars and a wrought iron gate giving pedestrian access. The gardens are a delight and are going to excite any passionate gardener. Divided into various areas with formal gardens with lawns, kitchen and vegetable gardens, many fruit trees and bordered by well stocked shrub beds and flowerbeds with numerous mature trees, seating areas and a paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The garden enjoys far-reaching views and borders its own paddocks.
In addition to the garage there is a substantial
brick built workshop and detatched garden store room.
