Herodshead Farm

An immaculate farmhouse & guest cottage in private valley setting, surrounded by its own land with far-reaching views.


Description

Constructed in 2008, Herodshead Farm is an attractive modern farmhouse which seamlessly combines traditional materials such as oak and local stone, with modern finishes and plenty of glass to take advantage of its spectacular setting and views. The house is approached via a long private drive which leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of a double car port building to the side of the farmhouse.

Inside, the house has a warm and airy feel, with substantial open-plan living spaces that open onto terraces to the front and rear of the building, overlooking the immaculate landscaped gardens.

From the majestic reception hall, which has an open-tread staircase rising to the first floor galleried landing, the living spaces include a sitting room with bi-folding doors and wood burner, a dining area and further entertaining spaces.

There is a snug room, which leads to the substantial kitchen and breakfast room, which has been fitted with a bespoke kitchen and central island unit. There is a utility room and cloakroom at the back of the house, which has been fitted with plenty of storage units.

On the first floor there is a magnificent principal bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom, a guest bedroom suite, four further bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. In addition to the accommodation in the main house there is Herodshead Cottage, providing ancillary or self-contained holiday let accommodation with two further bedrooms.

Outbuildings include the indoor swimming pool complex, with changing room, shower area and bi-folding doors opening onto the gardens. There is a studio/games room behind the house, which could be used as an impressive home office, enjoying fine elevated views. In addition, there is a 45' x 22' timber framed storage barn, which has an array of PV panels on the roof, providing substantial storage space and income from the PV panels.

Set in about 10 acres, with no rights of way across its land, the farmhouse and buildings are surrounded by immaculate landscaped gardens, manicured terraces and outdoor entertaining areas, from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and protection offered by neighbouring farmland. There are paddocks to the south and east, which rise up to the lane on the property's southern boundary.
