Upon entering James Farm House you are hit by the sense of space and grandeur from the Georgian wing, with a wide and grand hallway that features wooden herringbone flooring. Off of the hallway there is a large dual aspect study with a log burner and high ceilings; opposite the study is the sitting room which has chamfered beams, a bay window allowing light to fill the room and a cosy inglenook fireplace to keep warm on colder winter days. Just on from the sitting room is a good sized dining room with the ability to comfortably host over twelve guests. Off of the dining room you enter through into the breakfast room which is open to the kitchen and features exposed brick walls and has brick tile herringbone flooring.
The kitchen has been recently renovated and is well equipped and is in a 'farmhouse style', there is a butlers sink, wooden work surfaces and a kitchen island with a granite worktop. There is also a children's playroom and downstairs WC which completes the ground floor.
Upstairs there are five great sized bedrooms and two family bathrooms. The second and third bedrooms; not only benefit from being dual aspect but also are en-suite. In bedroom one there are exposed timbers with original carpenters marks.
Outside, the garden is predominantly South facing, but does wrap around the whole property. There is a stream, with a beautiful arched bridge which leads over to a further lawned area which has the potential for a car port/garaging (subject to the usual building consents).
There is plenty of parking either side of the stream, there is also a spacious outbuilding (with power) which offers plenty of storage or potential for a home office or further development (subject to gaining necessary planning consents). There is also a vegetable patch and fruit trees which includes apple trees, crab apples, plums, olive trees and quince trees.
The current owners have also recently replaced all the old guttering with new metal guttering throughout, a new flat roof, several windows have been restored, new leaded bay on the front façade, chimney repointed and reinforced, new lead flashing around the chimney, and a section of the wall has been repointed.
