6 bedroom house

**About 2.6 Acres***Six Bedrooms - two with en-suite facilities***Five Reception Rooms***Outbuildings***

A splendid chance to purchase an impressive detached grade II listed farmhouse that offers extensive space both inside and outside, sitting within the conservation area and within walking distance to the town centre and some delightful countryside and riverside walks. We believe that the original part of the cottage is over two hundred and seventy five years old and was bought by our sellers more than twenty four years ago in an almost derelict state. Over the course of ownership, they have invested a great deal of time and energy in transforming this property in to a stylish contemporary yet character home that will certainly meet the approval and satisfy the needs of many potential buyers. The property has been reconfigured and extended to blend in with the original style of the farmhouse and retains many character features, which include fireplace with Bresummer beam and wood burner, exposed ceiling beams and stone walls, deep window sills and the old bread oven was uncovered. Catering for modern day expectations - there is softwood double glazing, oil fired central heating and to help the environment and outgoings there are wholly owned solar panels that provide an income. The property also benefits from Karndean flooring to the main reception areas, bespoke kitchen units, traditional Aga for cooking and some lovely rural views. Enjoying about 2.6 acres, this property needs to be viewed to fully realise what it has to offer.
