Description
The very impressive Town Farm Cottage was built by the current owners in about 1987 in a traditional style to create a character, family home. Situated at the end of a no-through lane, and overlooking open countryside, the property has a most attractive, mature garden with a substantial pond which attracts a wide array of wildlife throughout the year. Adjacent to the house is a substantial range of barns and stables with a variety of possible uses.
The hub of the house is the large, well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with an island, walk in pantry and electric Aga. There is also a fitted dishwasher, hob, double oven and microwave. Accessed off the reception hall is the triple aspect drawing room with a log burning stove. To the rear of the house is the garden room which benefits from traditional exposed beams and oak flooring and has lovely views of the garden. The snug, which also has a log burning stove, is ideal for the winter months.
On the first floor is the impressive main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a spacious en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms, each with en suite bath/shower rooms and on the top floor is a further bedroom and WC.
The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors with a wing providing a one bedroom annexe which could be incorporated within the main house if required.
