5 bedroom house

Bedford Farmhouse, which is Grade II listed, dates back to the 16th century and was latterly joined on to a 17th century bake house.
Since then there have been further extensions. The current client has owned the property for 16 years and during that time has made further alterations, whilst enhancing its character.
The house is entered through a substantial reception hall with a majority of the rooms then leading off. The drawing room has a wonderful vaulted ceiling, a well with safety glass and wood burning stove and from the family room you can really appreciate the distant views over the valley. The kitchen/breakfast room, with its Aga, has a utility and pantry off and to the rear of this is the dining room which offers future potential to create a much more substantial kitchen/breakfast room.
On the first floor the principal bedroom is positioned to enjoy the view across the neighbouring valley, whilst there are a further four bedrooms.
One of the additions undertaken by our clients was the improvement of the cellar and this now houses an area for wine, storage and a further laundry area.
Throughout the house so much of the character has been maintained with lots of exposed ceiling and wall timbers, whilst alterations such as to the staircase incorporate beautiful new oak joinery.
Bedford Farmhouse sits in the most wonderful country setting, so accessible for the commuter, whilst still giving an incoming purchaser the opportunity to place their mark on the property.
To the front of the house is the charming former cartshed which has been converted into a beautifully fitted office. To the north east of the house in an elevated setting is The Outlook, a substantial brick and tile building of two rooms, kitchenette and WC, which offers further potential (Subject to obtaining the usual planning consents).
Bedford Farmhouse is approached off Bedford Lane which is a private track/bridleway into a parking area to the front of the garaging. Gently rising steps and double gates lead into the garden with stone retaining walls and a York stone pathway leading up to the front door. To the front of the house are beautifully manicured gardens with well stocked beds, lawns and grassed areas beyond.
On the western side is a substantial York stone terrace and an L-shaped loggia area with an established wisteria. This area is again banked by stone retaining walls with less formal grassed areas beyond and well stocked, beautifully maintained flower borders. A wrought iron gate leads through to the swimming pool areas with a safety cover and paved surround. Beyond a Hornbeam hedge, there is a row of pleached trees creating an avenue into further expanse of lawn. Tucked away is the shed housing the equipment for the pool and a further garden shed. Rising up on the northern side behind the garden is a gently sloping field. On the eastern side, a pathway leads up to a further field, which runs along the northern boundary.
Discretely tucked away also is a greenhouse. Situated on the southern side of Bedford Lane is a further field with an area where there is an old disused tennis court. All in all the setting and grounds of Bedford Farmhouse are very special and enjoy the most wonderful views to the south over the adjoining valley.
