5 bedroom house

Manor Farm House is a very attractive house that requires updating with a large south facing garden in a desirable and peaceful rural location. Features include flagstone and quarry tile flooring, traditional doors, exposed beams, window shutters to certain rooms and working fireplaces.

From the attractive front porch, with seating and a log storage beneath, the front door opens to the entrance hall with flagstone flooring that continues through to the large cloakroom. Off the rear hall is a large traditional back door to the courtyard and one to the cellar.

The drawing room has a working fireplace and window shutters, as does the dining room along with traditional floorboards. The snug includes the old cold slabs and meat hooks and the family room/study completes the reception room accommodation, which has quarry floor tiles, fitted cupboards and books shelves and an Inglenook fireplace. It also has an internal door to the garage and a utility area with a worktop, sink and space and plumbing for a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.

The fitted kitchen/breakfast has traditional built-in cupboards and window shutters and appliances include an integrated oven, grill, microwave and ceramic hob and there is space for a fridge freezer.

Off the galleried landing are five bedrooms, a study and a family bathroom. The first floor could be reconfigured to create a suite by incorporating bedroom 4 with 5 and the family bathroom and converting the study to a family shower room, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents.

The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a shower over it, bedroom 3 has built-in wardrobes and bedroom 2 has a feature fireplace. The family bathroom has a bath and a single shower enclosure with a door to bedroom 5/dressing room.

A 5-bar gate opens to gravel parking at the front of the house which has a number of beautiful climber plants including Rose, Passion Flower, Virginia Creeper, Honeysuckle and Wisteria.

The garden extends to around 0.65 acres and is adjacent to open countryside. There is a large private south facing lawned front garden, at the bottom of which is a wildlife pond with water reeds that during the spring months is surrounded by Daffodils and is set under a majestic Willow Tree. There are also a range of mature trees including fruit trees, a vegetable garden and strategically planted mature borders of perennial and evergreen plants creating all-year round interest and colour.

At the rear of the house is a gate opening to additional parking in front of the attached traditional garage, a smaller lawned area and a quaint courtyard with a rear pedestrian gate.
