5 bedroom farm house for sale

An immaculate, extended and refurbished Grade II listed attached period farmhouse, situated in a wonderful position on the edge of the village conservation area close to The Bulls Head and The Roebuck, standing within wonderful, large landscaped gardens and grounds, including a very useful converted detached bothy/studio building suitable as a home office or guest accommodation.

Damson Lane is a no-through country lane, accessed from the very best part of the village conservation area where the two fabulous pubs The Roebuck and Bulls Head are situated. It is a lovely quiet country road home to some cottages and farmhouses and Lower Dam Head Farm is a pretty house, refurbished and extended by the current owners and standing in extensive landscaped gardens and grounds with a lovely gated approach that it shares with its neighbour, Higher Dam Head Farm.

The accommodation extends to around 2,300 sq ft in the main house and includes an oak floored reception hall which gives access to most of the ground floor reception rooms and a downstairs WC. The main sitting room is open to the kitchen and has a wood burning stove and french doors to the rear terrace. The kitchen is a spacious and bright room with windows overlooking a side courtyard, a stable door, and space for a breakfast/dining table or or a sofa arrangement. It has a range of hand painted base cabinets with a central island, four oven Aga cooker, belfast sink and wood block work surfaces. A limestone floor runs throughout and in to an adjacent utility room. Two further reception rooms include a spacious and bright breakfast/family room currently housing a large table with a range of fitted cabinetry on one side and french doors that overlook the rear terrace and garden beyond. A smaller family room/study sits to the front of the house.

At first floor level there are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-through dressing area with a range of built-in wardrobes, and a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and enjoys a lovely view over the gardens to the rear. It has an en suite shower room, recently refitted, with a walk-in shower cubicle. The guest bedroom is a good sized double with an en suite shower room and three further good sized double bedrooms all enjoy a lovely aspect and share a large family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower cubicle.

Externally, the house has access across the drive, owned by the adjacent property, Higher Dam Head Farm, and the front approach is absolutely stunning. The house enjoys its own private shingle drive that runs round the side of Lower Dam Head Farm and on to the rear, under an arch, where there is excellent further parking and an enclosed courtyard area. There is space here to build a good sized triple garage (subject to planning). The gardens are in two tiers with a good sized terrace behind the house, they are beautifully landscaped, mainly lawned, with shrub borders.

The bothy building has been converted to provide, in this case, an excellent home office but could become an annex or gym as required. The interior includes a lobby, main studio room which could be an office or bedroom/living room, a fully fitted shower room and an adjacent lean-to which could become a kitchen area but is currently used for storage. There is an external door from here to the garden as well as french doors from the main studio room.

The potential garaging has a concrete base for three cars with adjacent open brick stores. It should be possible to re-erect a covered car barn style structure, which would replace the dilapidated former structure which was taken down several years ago, subject to checking whether any planning consent may be required.
