Purcombe Farmhouse

A spectacular family home nestled in delightful countryside with good outbuildings and a good holding of land amounting to circa 5 acres.

THE PROPERTY
Tucked away in a truly magnificent location, first glimpses of Purcombe Farmhouse are most impressive, with its stone and brick facade under a pretty pitched slate roof.

Dating back to 1870 this wonderful property has been very well looked after, improved and extended over the current owners near 30 year occupancy, and is now a fantastic family home with very unspoilt and spectacular country views.

On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light, with a large hall with flagstone flooring leading into a superb family kitchen incorporating a number of wall and base units, a woodburning stove, and plenty of room for a dining/breakfast table. This kitchen is quite simply 'as good as it gets' and has direct access to the delightful garden and paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. Alongside the kitchen there is also a very good sized tv/snug room and two further reception rooms creating ideal and very flexible family accommodation. There is also a garden room which takes full advantage of the wonderful views.

The bedrooms are situated on the first floor with four beautiful bedrooms including the large principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, a separate study and a modernised shower room. Like many rooms in the house, all these rooms boast their own magnificent views.

One of the lasting impressions however is the truly magical garden and grounds; a utopia for children and animals, with a large lawned area to the rear and a large open field/pastureland immediately across the lane, ideal for livestock and ponies. Worth a special mention is the large wooden outbuilding/barn which is currently used as a log store and machine store, but could be put to a number of uses, including a home office and/or gym.

All in all, this is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic yet very convenient location.
