Upham House is a splendid Grade II* listed property, set in a rural position in the tiny village of Farringdon. The property, which dates from around 1620, provides extensive accommodation with a wealth of period character, while
there are also outbuildings and delightful gardens and grounds.

Upham House has broadband speed of up to 950 mb FTTP

With its white rendered elevations outside and original internal details, including exposed timber beams, wooden panelling, Tudor joinery and inglenook fireplaces, the property has plenty of appeal. There are four reception rooms on the ground floor, including a well-proportioned drawing room with panelled walls and an inglenook fireplace containing a log burner.

There is also a comfortable sitting room and a light, airy dining room with wooden flooring and a fireplace. The fourth reception room is the useful study, providing a peaceful space for home working.

The well-proportioned kitchen and breakfast room has slate flooring, French doors opening onto the rear garden and space for a large breakfast table for informal family dining. There is plenty of storage space in fitted units, while there are also integrated appliances including an induction hob, an electric oven and a dishwasher, as well as an oil-fired Alpha range. In addition, the ground floor has a utility room, a larder, a boot room and a store, providing plenty of space for storage and further household appliances.

The first floor has five well-presented double bedrooms, accessed via two staircases at opposite ends of the house. One of the bedrooms is en suite, while a further two have Jack and Jill access to a bathroom with a separate shower unit.

There is a further bathroom on the ground floor with a bathtub and shower unit, as well as a separate WC.

Outside, there is a large courtyard area at the front of the property, providing extensive parking and access to the garage, carport and substantial brick-built barns. The outbuilding provides significant potential for development if required, subject to the necessary consents.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
