Lilac Farmhouse is a quintessential, Grade II listed property, which has a wonderful ambiance and benefits from two wonderful annexes.

From the moment you arrive, the beautiful façade, with its mature wisteria, makes it a real show stopper. The low level boundary brick wall encapsulates the property perfectly.

The character within is superb with some fine exposed timbers, an impressive inglenook fireplace to the sitting room, perfect for cosy winter nights in. The dining room is a perfect place to entertain, and the ambience is enhanced by the wood-burning stove within yet another inglenook fireplace.

Cooking at Lilac Farmhouse is a joy. The beautiful kitchen has been hand-crafted with a mix of fine granite and wooden work surfaces.

A place to enjoy the garden is the conservatory and snug, which leads off the back hall. Essentials also include a boot room, cloakroom/utility room and a useful study.

The first floor landing leads to four wonderful bedrooms, all with exposed vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room, whilst the remainder are served by the luxurious family bathroom.

Lilac Barn and Lilac Lodge are two wonderful and extremely comfortable annexes, one with sleeping accommodation for four individuals, whilst the other sleeps two.

Currently utilised as successful holiday lets, Lilac Barn and Lilac Lodge would also be ideal for multi-generational living, or perhaps further accommodation when friends and family come to visit.

Both are a joy to stay in, with an abundance of period detail and character. The two dwellings boast vaulted ceilings, modern fittings and stunning views.

The beautiful, well-landscaped grounds extend to just under one acre (STMS) and a sweeping gravelled driveway provides plenty of parking.

The bulk of the grounds comprise sweeping lawns, mature shrubs within the borders, specimen trees, beech hedging and native boundary hedging.

To the rear, an enclosed courtyard style garden, with a raised circular decking area under a wisteria covered pergola, is the perfect spot to relax on a summer's afternoon and relish in the beautiful views.
