Deep Filling Farm

Set back from the lane behind tall metal gates, Deep Filling Farm is an imposing stone built house set in a wonderful wooded setting that includes a former mill pond, a converted apple store and a substantial outbuilding currently used for garaging/storage.

Presented in excellent order throughout and arranged over two floors, the house extends to around 2,446 square feet. Originally a modest smallholders' cottage the property has been added to over two storeys at either end to create a flexible four bedroom home.

Arranged around a central reception hall, the ground floor comprises a kitchen/breakfast room with direct access to the garden, two large versatile reception rooms, a utility room and a cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are two bedroom suites, two further guest bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The gardens and grounds that create the setting are a particular feature of the property. A charming mill stream runs through the property via the mill pond, a small but very pretty water that has been formally registered as a fishery and can therefore be regularly stocked.

A former two storey apple store has been converted into a super two storey home office but subject to the appropriate planning change of use, would make a great annex or Air B&B.

The property is approached through an impressive stone gateway with double gates. The driveway gives access to the garage and the house and provides parking for a number of vehicles.

The driveway is flanked by areas of grass with mature trees and this area provides the formal garden for the property. Walkways and woodland rides provide access past the mill pond and up the hill behind the house. The house sits in about two thirds of an acre of gardens whilst the remainder of the land is woodland. The whole property extends in total to approximately 10 acres.

The are no public rights of way across the property.
