The Farmhouse
The farmhouse is a traditional Victorian farmhouse which is linked along its northern wing to the agricultural buildings. The farmhouse extends to approximately 171 sq m (1,842 sq ft) and offers scope to extend the accommodation into the adjoining building, subject to planning consent.
A covered entrance opens into a central reception hall having quarry tile flooring, which runs throughout much of the ground floor accommodation. The heart of the house is the farmhouse kitchen, fitted with a range of cabinets and features a Rayburn oil fired range cooker. Off the kitchen is a well-proportioned sitting room featuring a woodburning stove within a brick lined recess with quarry tiled hearth. To the rear of the property, with a south easterly aspect, is the sitting room also featuring a woodburning stove within a decorative surround with quarry tiled hearth. Double glazed French doors open to the rear garden, affording spectacular views. Also to the ground floor is a utility room with a range of cabinets, fitted with plumbing for laundry appliances with an adjoining walk-in pantry. A WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor is a spacious landing with space for a study area, in turn giving access to three generous double bedrooms all having superb rural views. There are two family bathrooms each fitted with modern white suites.
The farmhouse offers scope to extend into the adjoining outbuilding at ground and first floor levels to extend the living accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
Formal Gardens
The formal lawned gardens sit to the south of the property, predominantly lawn and enclosed by clipped native hedging. The gardens include a variety of raised vegetable beds in addition to two aluminium framed greenhouses.
