Description

The beautifully stocked private gardens are a real highlight, featuring a quality greenhouse, a covered seating area, and a pond with the original well beneath. Unique heritage touches, including the former pig pen and separate bread oven, add charm and authenticity, making this a home that will appeal to those who value entertaining and distinctive period detail.
Accessed via private electric gates, the property opens into a shared courtyard with ample parking. The former barns have been sympathetically converted to provide a double garage with workshop space and stairs leading to an annex with potential to update to self-contained studio bed sit, ideal for families with older children, visiting guests, or those requiring dedicated work-from-home space.
The farmhouse itself is traditionally constructed of brick with black-and-white elevations with exposed internal beams, all set beneath a slate roof, and has evolved over centuries into a fine family residence. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom and W.C., a generous living room with open fireplace and French doors to the garden, spacious dining room, and a fully fitted study. The breakfast kitchen, centred around an Aga and supplemented by a conventional cooker, is complemented by a utility room. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a sizeable en-suite to the principal bedroom.
