4 bedroom farm house

This lovely, period farmhouse forms one side of a charming courtyard with outbuildings forming the other three sides. Within is a circular driveway centred around an impressive, grand willow tree. The Grade II Listed farmhouse has 16th Century origins with Victorian and later additions. The home has retained many original character features and creates a very homely, cosy atmosphere. There are three good-sized reception rooms and the open plan kitchen/ breakfast room provides the focal point to the ground floor living. The layout and space are perfect for entertaining. The kitchen has a central island, flagstone floor, granite work surfaces, a gas-fired 4-door Aga and separate electric hobs and oven. Off the kitchen are a larder and boot room. Both the sitting room and drawing room have log burners and the latter also has underfloor heating. The dining room has a fireplace.

Upstairs there are four good-sized double bedrooms (two with en suite bath or shower rooms) and a family bathroom. There is a pressurised Megaflow hotwater system.

To the rear of the property there is a lovely formal garden area with mature shrubs and fruit trees. A oak-framed summer house and veranda overlooks the lawns and terrace beside the house.

Above the workshop and double garage is a first-floor games room. The original barn is currently used as a store for machinery and logs but is equally suited to being used as a party barn for entertaining.

The majority of outbuildings and land offer the perfect equestrian lifestyle. There are up to four loose boxes, a covered horse box parking area, two paddocks with a double field shelter and a 60m x 20m outdoor sand school. There is also secondary access off the lane.
