The cottage provides an open-plan living area, bedroom with en-suite, kitchen and a private garden. Adjacent to Sparrow Cottage, there is further scope to increase the accommodation within the office building, which comprises two more converted rooms and provides options for a host of different applications.
The grounds and location add so much to the overall appeal of Sparrow Green Farm. With only a handful of neighbouring properties nearby and miles of unspoilt countryside to look out on, one can enjoy a feeling of privacy and seclusion without becoming isolated or too remote. The grounds have been lovingly cared for by the current owners, with colourful rose beds, herbaceous borders and manicured lawns making up the formal gardens which surround the house. There are also a variety of mature trees interspersed throughout the grounds, with an open area of approximately 2 acres (STMS) of open grass which could easily be post and railed to make it suitable for equestrian use. Other features include an orchard with apple, crab and plum trees, an established pond with wildlife and the remnants of an original moat. In addition, there is a timber barn currently used as a double garage/workshop, with a substantial gravel parking area and a long shingle driveway which leads down to the main house.
