Barnfield Farm

A very appealing home with land and situated on the edge of a village.


Description

Barnfield Farm is an individual home which is tucked away on the southern side of the village. As such the property enjoys a private position and is set well back from the village lane. In addition to the well planned house there are also extensive grounds which extend to about 1.53 acres As such the property could suit those with equestrian interests or who wish to enjoy the good life. The house itself has been well maintained and provides versatile family accommodation over three floors.

Internally the house is arranged to provide a vaulted entrance hall, a dining room which leads into the drawing room – an excellent entertaining room with central fireplace and windows to two sides. A useful garden room has been added to the front of the house and is ideal for everyday living and also takes advantage of its garden aspect. The kitchen/breakfast room is of good size and includes a Rangemaster, pantry cupboard, and a peninsular bar. It opens into the rear porch area where there is a cloakroom and utility room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the second floor there is a further bedroom, bathroom and a sitting area which could be used as an occasional bedroom.

From the lane a part tree lined driveway sweeps round to the front of the house where there is ample parking for a number of vehicles. To the side is a detached barn providing garaging but suitable for a number of other uses. The space between the barn and the house is an ideal for outside entertaining and is covered with vines. To the rear is an enclosed dog yard although there is further kennelling and run. Close by is an outbuilding used as log and hay stores. The land is divided between four small paddocks and includes stabling and a former field shelter. The garden area is mainly lawned and interspersed with maturing trees and shrub borders. It should be noted that there is a right of way over the first part of the drive.

In all the property extends to 1.53 acres.
