Description
Fairview Farm is an attractive brick built cottage, significantly extended and beautifully positioned in the rural outskirts of Whixley, enjoying far reaching views across neighbouring farmland. The property offers a rare opportunity to acquire not only a charming residence but also a substantial barn, workshop and generous gardens, forming a rare opportunity in an idyllic countryside setting.
To the front of the house are two well proportioned reception rooms, each offering its own character and charm. The sitting room enjoys a delightful dual aspect overlooking the gardens and features a woodburning stove that forms a warm and inviting focal point. Adjacent lies a comfortable snug which flows seamlessly into the spacious kitchen and dining room. Fitted with quality oak cabinetry and a Rangemaster cooker, this sociable family space is further enhanced by French doors opening onto the west facing terrace, providing an effortless connection to the garden and creating the ideal area for al fresco dining and evening entertaining.
Practical elements have been thoughtfully considered, with a useful utility room and a separate boot room offering plentiful storage and a secondary entrance ideal for country living. A well appointed downstairs shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor comprises three generous bedrooms, each benefitting from superb views across the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is served by a nicely appointed en suite bathroom, while bedrooms two and three are complemented by a spacious family bathroom.
Externally, Fairview Farm sits within a substantial plot bordered by open fields, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. A large driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles. Adjacent to this a sizeable agricultural barn provides an exceptional opportunity for a hobbyist, collector or those requiring extensive storage. Adjoining the barn is a further space that would lend itself well to a home office or work space.
