HOYS FARMHOUSE is a detached Grade II Listed period home of individual style and character situated in this lovely country setting, placed between the villages of Ashdon and Radwinter, adjoining countryside over which the property enjoys attractive open views. The house is set back from the road and screened by mature trees and shrubs, with the property containing many of the features associated with its Listed status including exposed beams and timbers, lovely brick fireplaces and attractive brick flooring.

The front door opens into a shallow hallway with brick laid floor and door opening into the sitting room. There are windows to the front and rear drawing in natural light, exposed beams and timbers, attractive brick floor and exposed brick fireplace with stove set on a raised hearth. A rear hallway links to, what is, an extension to the original property where there are two further rooms which could serve as ground floor bedrooms or useful office space with a shower placed in-between and staircase rising from the current study leading to a first floor bedroom above which has windows to the rear and side overlooking adjoining countryside. The sitting room also links to the dining room in the original part of the property featuring a large inglenook fireplace, at present non-operational, attractive brick flooring, windows to the front and rear and door concealing staircase rising to the principal first floor accommodation. The kitchen/breakfast room is an excellent family space with ample room for table and chairs, complementing a range of storage cupboards, walk-in pantry, wooden worktops, granite topped island, space for appliances, butler sink, attractive terracotta tiled floor, brick fire breast with recessed oil/electric Stanley cooking range and windows to the front and side drawing in natural light. The rear lobby also has an attractive terracotta tiled floor and door opening to outside and links to the useful utility room which contains a butler sink and space for appliances.

The first floor accommodation sits beneath the thatched part of the building with each room having sloping ceilings. There are two good sized double bedrooms; one with its own en suite cloakroom, whilst the other principal bedroom has the advantage of a large en suite bathroom which contains twin wash hand basins and a freestanding ball & claw rolltop bath.

OUTSIDE, the property sits with grounds which extend to about 2.2 acres, laid out predominantly to lawn containing a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees with mature natural borders providing excellent enclosure to this superb outside space. There is a paved patio adjoining the rear of the property which provides a secluded outside entertaining area and a group of sheds which are currently in need of attention. As previously mentioned, the property sits back from the road accessed via a driveway with a 5-bar gate leading onto the property which enjoys off-street parking space for numerous vehicles.
