** BEAUTIFUL GRADE II LISTED FARMHOUSE ** WEALTH OF ACCOMMODATION ** FURTHER POTENTIAL ** PLOT IN REGION OF 1.77 ACRES ** ** CONSIDERABLE PARKING & SUBSTANTIAL GARAGING ** DELIGHTFUL SETTING ** NO UPWARD CHAIN ** VIEWING ESSENTIAL **
We have great pleasure in offering to the market this unique period Grade II Listed farmhouse, understood to date back to the 17th Century with later additions, creating a truly sprawling individual home which approaches 5000 sq ft including its attached garaging.
This lovely former farmhouse offers a wealth of character and features expected of a property of its era, sympathetically renovated over the years with the majority of the rooms offering exposed beams, internal stone and brickwork, attractive natural flooring with stone flags and reclaimed timber block herringbone floors to the majority of the ground floor accommodation and attractive fireplaces.
The versatile level of accommodation spans three floors in the main house making it ideal for growing or extended families, with the attached garage block offering possible further potential (subject to any necessary consent).
The property occupies a delightful plot tucked away in an idyllic secluded setting, positioned well back from the lane with informal gardens attractive mill pond and winding brook which sweeps through the main garden providing an ample outdoor space and considerable parking at the front and rear.
In total the grounds extend to approximately 1.77 acres combining both the main garden with adjacent grassed areas all offering a great deal of privacy and a wonderful outdoor space.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
