A good looking farmhouse offering a fabulous living environment with an extensive range of outbuildings including stabling, barns and manège set within delightful grounds of about 9.34 acres
Description
Homestead Farmhouse is a good looking family home which offers an incredible lifestyle opportunity. Approached via electric gates which open on to the drive leading through to a large open courtyard which is flanked by attractive farm buildings creating a really welcoming feel. The main house is well set back and has attractive brick and flint elevations under a clay tiled roof. The front door opens into the reception hall from which access to all principal living areas is made. The superb open plan kitchen breakfast/family room is very much the hub of the house and provides excellent living space for families. The Neptune kitchen comes with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units including cupboard and drawer sections with beech and granite work surfaces over. A central island offers further preparation space and bar area. This is open plan to the breakfast and family areas, a great space with a large roof lantern creating lots of light. From here there are views out over the rear gardens as well as access to the rear terrace area. There is also a large utility/boot room which makes for a practical set up. The formal sitting room is well proportioned and generous in dimensions and comes with a central fireplace. A study/snug is a flexible living space and characterful room with central fireplace feature and games room/playroom is a useful family space. Two ground floor cloakrooms complete the ground floor accommodation.
Out of the reception hall an oak staircase rises to the first floor with its impressive galleried landing with vaulted ceilings and a wealth of exposed timbers making a real impact. At first floor level there are a total of five bedrooms including a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room. Bedrooms two and three also have their own independent en suites and the remaining two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill shower room.
OUTSIDE
The property comes with an impressive array of outbuildings including an attractive stable block which includes four good sized stables, a hay barn, tack room, feed room and store with its own cloakroom. There is a separate workshop and an attractive barn which runs at the front of the main house with further outbuildings and has scope to enhance subject to permissions. An oak framed 3-bay carport with tractor shed is an attractive addition and provides covered parking. The front drive with its turning circle is an attractive aspect and the courtyard gives a good degree of privacy. The main gardens lie to the rear and are largely laid to lawn up to the paddocks. There is a well maintained tennis court. The post and rail paddocks are well arranged and provide excellent turn out facilities, in all the land extends to 9.34 acres. A wide path meanders down to the international sized manège with mirrors which measures 20 x 60 meters with a great surface ideal for training whether it be for dressage or show jumping. This is a great combination of good quality farmhouse combined with excellent yet discreet equestrian facilities. It is rare to get such a complete package that works for all.
