The Property

Plumber Farmhouse is a detached house built of red brick in 1937. The current owners have added a fantastic oak framed extension to create a stunning ground floor living space with French doors opening out to the private garden.

The ground floor accommodation is largely open plan. The main kitchen / family / living space is superb with engineered oak floors and an oak frame extension creating a hugely versatile family space. There is a boot room and ground floor shower room and the kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and base units, large island and Belfast sink. The living area has a large cylindrical wood burning stove and French doors to the garden at the rear. There is a dual aspect sitting room / snug with windows in the south and east elevations, and a fireplace along with a utility room and separate WC.

On the first floor there are four good bedrooms. The master bedroom is dual aspect and has a superb ensuite bathroom with two showers, large bath, wash hand basin and WC. There are three additional double bedrooms, each with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside, and a family bathroom. A smaller single room could be used as a fifth bedroom / study or nursery.

Outside

The property is approached from the road on to a private drive where there is ample parking and turning for a number of cars. There is a large garden to the front and side of the house, facing south-east and having established hedge boundaries and some mature trees. The garden at the back of the house is private and adjoins and looks over open fields and there is a superb outdoor kitchen built of oak on a brick plinth under a pitched roof - a wonderful space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

On the northern boundary there is an oak framed and timber clad building under a pitched red tiled roof - an extremely useful and versatile building comprising a double garage / workshop, car port and office / gym with solar panels on the roof.
