Character family home with separate barn annexe.

Description

Home Farm House dates from the 18th century with later additions forming the family home it is today. Sitting in its plot of about an acre, and set back from the road, the property is approached via a gravel drive with a small stream running to one side.

The entrance porch opens to the centre of the house with good size reception rooms either side. One being the welcoming sitting room with its stripped beams, working fireplace and views over the west facing garden. Opposite the dining room, with parquet floor, also has a working fireplace with an unusual painted Victorian slate surround.
The cosy family room, situated between the sitting room and the rear hallway, has French doors opening to the terrace and garden beyond. Also off the rear hall, is the kitchen with Aga, utility room, boot room and large cloakroom. Another small room accessed via the hall and dining room would make an ideal study. Interesting features throughout the house are old quarry tiled floors, tongue and groove panelling, exposed beams and wooden floors to some rooms.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. There may be scope to make a dressing room in the area just before the steps leading to the master bedroom.

The detached one bedroom annexe, known as Fig Tree Barn, is situated to the front and has, in the past, been let by the present owners. It offers a multitude of other possible uses including ancillary accommodation, home office and holiday let.
Outside, the delightful established gardens with mature trees lead on to a woodland garden at the end. In all the grounds are nearly an acre.
