MAIN HOUSE Fen Lane Farm is a highly impressive Grade II Listed farmhouse featuring a delightful blend of character, charm and contemporary modern features. Set in approximately 2.5 acres (stms) of mature lawned grounds and positioned in a well-regarded and unspoilt location. Located next to the farmhouse are two self-contained properties which previously have been very successful as private rentals but could also provide additional accommodation to the main farmhouse in the form of two annexe's, perfect for multi-generational living.

Originally thought to date from the late 17th century, the existing owners have accentuated the main residence with the addition of a luxurious, architecturally designed extension to create a collection of wonderful light and airy spaces arranged over two storeys with some 3181 sq.ft of living accommodation. The property is found in immaculate condition both inside and out with all of the high quality fixtures and fittings which one might expect to find in a property of this calibre. Care has also been taken to ensure that the original character features of the farmhouse have been retained whilst incorporating the requirements of modern living.

Upon entering the large entrance hall, complete with impressive gallery landing, access is granted into the extremely generous living room, measuring over 9 meters in length and includes patio doors that lead out to the patio and garden. Following this, the kitchen/breakfast room features an extensive range of shaker style units, a large central island with further storage and patio doors also leading out into the garden. Off the kitchen, a large and useful utility room can be found, also with a door granting access out into the garden. Continuing through the ground floor accommodation, the original farmhouse section leads you to a study, WC and reception room, all of which feature original exposed beams. The reception room is dual aspect and includes a wood-burning stove - a great space to retreat to.

Upstairs grants access to the large landing, which could easily be used as an additional home working area. Off this is the impressive principal bedroom, with the main focal point being the large feature window, providing fantastic field views. This bedroom also features a large contemporary en-suite with separate dressing room. In addition to this, there are two further bedrooms, both served by a family bathroom.

Externally, Fen Lane is approached via a shingled driveway flanked by post and rail fencing, with a pleasant paddock to the front of the property. The first portion of the driveway provides both access to the property and to the neighbouring 'Fen Lane Farm Barns'. The driveway separates into private portions for each property towards the centre of the paddock. A large shingled area to the front of the farmhouse provides ample parking. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a large pond and a secluded terrace between the main residence and detached outbuilding. 

ENTERTAINING/GAMES ROOM / HOME OFFICE/FITNESS ROOM An impressive building of approximately 1686Sq.ft, which compliments the main house with further living and bedroom accommodation, as required. Providing space and flexibility for a host of different uses. Comprising a spacious 32'x29' open planned living area with a high quality fitted kitchen, double height ceiling with exposed timber trusses and large sets of opening glazed panel doors to two aspects.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
