The Property:
A stunning Georgian Farmhouse of perfect proportions with attached annex and detached Coach House and land with development potential (subject to relevant planning). The property is accessed via a gated walled entrance and gravel driveway to the side of the property entering through a secondary entrance and hallway to the kitchen and utility area.
The farmhouse style kitchen has integrated appliances and separate utility room with Belfast sink, plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and area for fridge/freezer. From the kitchen steps lead up to the Dining Room with feature fireplace and a gas fire, beautiful sash windows overlooking the gardens and period features.
The Entrance Hall and staircase with period features and front door lead to gardens and path to the front of the property. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms and a single/dressing room and family bathroom. The bedrooms are all of similar good size and perfectly proportioned with original features and sash windows.
Downstairs, a large family sitting room with stone fireplace, open fire and sash windows leads through French doors to the impressive orangery; with multiple doors out to patios and gardens.
The orangery (Durabuild) is light and bright with tiled floor, half-brick walls and mechanised blinds making it the heart of the home and used throughout the year. Original stone steps lead up to the stone barn conversion with millstone and annex. The barn is a mix of stone and original brickwork with flagstone flooring and solid oak windows and doors.
A galleried sitting room and separate office leads up from the impressive main area and steps lead down to a WC and shower room and there is also separate access to the garage. This office could easily be used as a 5th bedroom by taking the wall out leading into the main landing (subject to the correct permissions).
Outside:
There is a walled garden area with established fruit trees, an ornamental pond and water feature and sloped gardens leading down to the formal front lawns which are framed with perennial borders and a line of fruit trees. A row of lavender and gravel path formalises the borders along the front of the house creating a picture-perfect Georgian façade.
A large Coach House abuts the south east corner of the garden and leads through to the vegetable and kitchen gardens and access to the paddock. The remains of a stone barn and complete sheppards hut shelter within the paddock provide storage and potential to further develop (subject to planning). The large paddock of approx 2 acres provides a great grazing field or simply a sense of privacy and space. Five bar gates lead from the bottom of the paddock provide access to the field from the road.
