A handsome Grade II listed period farmhouse with superb converted outbuildings in a lovely plot.
Description
Bodenham Farmhouse and period outbuildings are thought to date back to the mid-16th Century and were believed to have been the home farm to Homme House, a large country house which is situated opposite. The farmhouse was updated in Georgian times to reflect the major refurbishment at Homme House. Part of the property is in a conservation area and a registered park and garden. The current owners are only the third family to own the property and for 14 years ran as an award winning bed and breakfast. The property is a registered small holding whilst now having only Soay sheep, the owners have had chickens, horses and highland cattle.
The farmhouse is Grade II listed and consists of smooth rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof with substantial brick chimneys at either side. Worthy of note are the dentil corniced eaves and triangular pitched dormer section with Lunette window. The principal elevation features elegant timber windows with arched tops and a substantial and original timber front door with two glass panels above. The property has formal access via the front door and day to day access via the side door.
The ground floor comprises a good sized entrance hall with elm flooring and detailed cornicing with the two principal reception rooms flanking. The drawing room features an ornate fireplace, elegant cornicing, exposed beam and a charming window seat. The dining room is situated opposite again featuring a window seat, impressive marble fireplace and exposed wooden floors. An attractive sitting room is situated beyond and adjacent to the kitchen with exposed beams, impressive fireplace with wood burning stove and two sets of French doors leading to a side courtyard. The kitchen and breakfast room itself is bright and welcoming with a quarry tiled floor, a wealth of floor and wall mounted cupboards with views to the side and rear of the property. Day to day access is via the side entrance beyond the kitchen which leads to a good sized utility and drying room with separate cloakroom adjacent.
The first floor accommodation provides a pleasant landing area and three bedrooms with en suite facilities and one further bedroom. The second floor level has a large landing enjoying light from the attractive Lunette window and two bedrooms together with shower room. From the main hallway stone stairs lead down to a good sized dry cellar and secure external access.
