5 bedroom detached house

Didlington Farmhouse is Grade II listed and of striking red brick architecture situated next to a charming chalk stream with fishing rights. The house is believed to have been built in the late 18th century although internally it has been brought firmly into the twenty first century thanks to a comprehensive refurbishment and remodelling by the current owners. First impressions are superb, and the attention to detail in the work carried out is noticeable throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall draws visitors into the magnificent kitchen that has an open plan layout with the family sitting room and dining room. This is very much the heart of the home and the kitchen area has a vast island with space for informal dining at one end and one side of the room is almost entirely glass, giving wonderful views over the grounds towards the chalk stream and over the surrounding countryside.

The glass door slides back to reveal a stone terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and summer drinks. The room is in a L-shape with a vaulted ceiling over the sitting and dining areas and featuring a beautiful contemporary floating wood burner. The dining area looks over the rear courtyard with pond.

Beyond the kitchen are the practical elements of the house including a large utility room and dog room/second utility with dog bath. At the rear of the house are two additional entrances leading to the courtyard and kitchen garden. Further reception rooms include a drawing room, accessed via the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with a delightful cosy feel and views over the courtyard garden. A study is situated off the entrance hall, ideal for those who need to work from home and there is an additional sitting room with charming bay window at the front of the house.

The immaculate presentation and superb attention to detail continues to the first floor where there are five bedrooms, three of which have en suite facilities, and a further family bathroom. The principal bedroom is of particular note with a window of impressive width offering views over the stream and pond to the north of the house. The bathrooms are all finished to an exquisite standard and there is space in the loft to create further accommodation if required and subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

All of the additional accommodation at Didlington Farmhouse is finished to the same startling quality as the main house. The cottage, currently used as a holiday let has a central entrance hall that leads to the high specification open plan kitchen and dining room with central island, leading to a utility and plant room. On the other side of the entrance hall is a sitting room and on the first floor are three bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and one with an en suite shower room.

Beyond the cottage and with independent access via a spur from the private road is the coach house, providing a significant income from holiday lettings. The interior design is both elegant and sympathetic to the building's origins and a magnificent open plan kitchen/dining/ sitting room is the focal point of the ground floor, with access to the garden. On the first floor are four beautifully appointed bedrooms all with en suite facilities. Attached to the
coach house is a double garage.

The courtyard at the back of the house is flanked by a range of outbuildings with a pond running through the middle. The former piggery runs the entire width of the courtyard and has been refurbished to contain two workshops, a gym and estate office. Flanking the courtyard on one side is a stunning barn that has been painstakingly improved by the current owners to give numerous opportunities for its use including a party barn, studio, games room and more. Within the barn are two mezzanine levels.

Lot 2, available by separate negotiation, is a charming three bedroom cottage sitting in about 0.81 acres of garden.

Didlington Farmhouse occupies a secluded position at the end of a private road wi
