A delightful three storey Victorian farmhouse dating back to 1850, which has been remodelled and completely renovated to an exceptionally high standard.

The layout has been simplified and improved, so that contemporary modern living space combines with original period character. Features include original stripped pine panelled doors, picture and dado rails, cornicing, ceiling roses, high ceilings and picture windows flooding the living space with light.

The reception hall at the heart of the house leads through to a rear hall, at the end of which is a door to the rear porch which has French doors opening to steps leading down to a charming courtyard. Off the rear hall is a door to the cellar.

The entertaining space includes four reception rooms, three with fireplace surrounds. The drawing room has an open fire, whilst the dining room and sitting room have multi-fuel stoves. The sitting room flows through to a conservatory, from which a view of the landscaped garden and the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed. From the conservatory, French doors open to a large landscaped patio. The large fitted kitchen/breakfast room incorporates a breakfast island, corner benches and granite worktops.

There is an electric AGA, space for an American fridge freezer and integrated appliances. A unique feature is the glazed French doors, which open to an east facing balcony, enclosed with a glass balustrade. From the kitchen, steps lead down to a very large pantry. The utility room is accessed via the cloakroom and offers space for a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.

On the first floor are four large double bedrooms, all of which have feature Victorian fireplaces and two of which have large en suite bathrooms, both fitted with a double ended clawfoot bath and double walk-in showers. There is also a family shower room with walk-in double shower.
On the second floor are two further large double bedrooms served by a shower room, also fitted with a walk-in double shower.

In all, the gardens and land extend to 10.4 acres as shown outlined in red on the land plan. There is driveway parking adjacent to the house and at the top of the garden is gated gravel parking in front of the timber framed triple carport. From here, a gravel path extends to the front entrance porch and terrace.

The west and south facing gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are laid mainly to lawn. Adjacent to the conservatory is a charming paved terrace with established yew and box hedging, which continues along the east elevation of the property.

There is a large traditional greenhouse and garden shed and throughout the gardens are mature borders of evergreen and perennial plants..

Lastly and of particular note is the magical enclosed paved courtyard at the northern end of the house which includes an open fire and offers a unique private outside dining space. Off the courtyard are arched doorways leading to a snug/home office with a working fireplace together with a gardener's WC and a boot room. A wood store and small stores are accessed from the east side of the property.

The immediate gardens open to a field of pasture and an orchard, with approximately 120 apple trees, which extend to the south and east with access from Batchcombe Lane. The grounds border Batchcombe Lane to the west and a brook to the east with a pool and weir.

The neighbouring sloping fields on the western side of Batchcombe Lane, shown outlined blue on the land plan in the brochure, are available by separate negotiation. They extend in total to approximately 20.39 acres and offer additional land for recreational use or equestrian use.
