5 bedroom farm house

Set at the end of a quiet country lane with views towards Dixton Hill and beyond that Bredon Hill in the distance, Far Stanley Farm is a wonderful very private five bedroom family home that is complimented by a compact 4 box stable yard, a detached triple garage, tennis court, gardens and paddocks that extend to approximately 16 acres.

Originally a modest Cotswold stone farmhouse, the property has been extensively added to and remodelled to create a versatile modern family home that now extends to around 3,616 square feet. The original house has been re-orientated to benefit from the distant views whilst also enhancing the first impression as you approach the house from the foot of the hill.

Retaining a number of charming features throughout from exposed beams to open fires, the accommodation is balanced, well proportioned and flows from one part of the house to the next.

Whilst there is a formal dining groom, the kitchen is open plan with an Aga and room for a farmhouse table. Double doors lead to the recption hall and on into the sitting room. Towards the rear of the house, there is a further sitting room or home office.

There is a formal staircase that services the two main bedroom suites whilst the secondary staircase in the original part of the house rises to two double bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a third comfortable suite on the second floor above.

In front of the house is the triple garage with the room above currently being used as a party room. The stable yard comprises 4 loose boxes, a tack room and feed store.

The house is surrounded by gardens with a more formal south facing garden and sun terrace at the rear of the house with views towards the tennis court and beyond.

A delightful heritage steam railway operates between Cheltenham and Broadway and passes the farm at the far end of the fields so as not to be anything but a positive and charming feature.

Services: Private drainage, oil fired central heating. Mains water and electricity.
