DESCRIPTION Set in approximately 0.84 acres, 'Redcliffe Farm' is a truly outstanding village home, constructed in the mid-17th century from locally sourced and wonderfully distinctive Draycott Stone, the property was meticulously rebuilt several decades ago using many of the original materials including authentic clay tiles, and now offers all the convenience of a modern home with the character and charm of a period farmhouse. Approached via a handsome five bar gate within an attractive boundary wall, the property occupies a gently elevated position from the road, which is also separated to the front by a neat lawned garden with a flower bed border. A part cobbled and part gravelled driveway leads past the house to the side where there are two parking spaces, it then continues further, passing the main residence and garden and eventually arriving at a generous parking area adjacent to the barn. To the front of the property a tiled porch sits over a recently installed contemporary door with a slip window to the side, inside there is an attractive reception hallway with plenty of space for a small home office, as well as access to a handy utility/cloakroom. Rustic wooden doors provide access to both the principal reception rooms that sit either side of the hallway. To the right is a wonderfully atmospheric sitting room that enjoys a light filled dual aspect. This beautiful room focusses on a stunning Inglenook fireplace, complete with remnants of the original bread oven. The fireplace features a gorgeous oak mantle, whilst an oak beam to the ceiling and deep ledge windowsills further enhances the room. To the opposite side of the hallway is the dining room/family room, equal in charm to the sitting room, it has an open tread staircase rising to the first floor with a useful store cupboard beneath. Within the room is an equally impressive fireplace as in the sitting room with a majestic bressummer beams above the stone fireplace that bares an historic inscription. A cast iron wood burner style gas fire set into the fireplace adds a little practicality. As with the sitting room, handsome beams stretch the length of the room with deep ledge windowsills set to either side. Continuing into the kitchen/breakfast room, the homely feel of the property continues with the traditional farmhouse styled units, there is a 'Rangemaster' type cooker and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen benefits from a double enamel sink, an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer along with terracotta floor tiles. A rather unusual and quirky feature to the room is a Coffin Hatch that is cut into the kitchen ceiling, Coffin Hatches were added to houses at a time when there were no chapels of rest, allowing the deceased to be easily transported out of the building. Nowadays they act as a handy addition to help move large furniture upstairs without navigating tight staircases. To the rear of the kitchen, a stable door leads to a pretty porch giving access out to the garden. On the first floor, set off a charming gallery landing are the property's four individual bedrooms and family bathroom. To either end of the house are the two principal bedrooms, both fantastic sized rooms that benefit from smart en-suite bathroom and dual aspects. The two remaining bedrooms are perfect children's sized rooms and share use of family bathroom that has a wonderful bespoke feature wall and a luxurious spa bath. The garden at Redcliffe Farm is truly magnificent, enjoying a sunny south/westerly aspect it has been beautifully and expertly landscaped to create what is now a quintessential English cottage garden. Enclosed by a dwarf stone wall it features flower packed borders that enclose a neat level lawn. Flanking the lawn to one side is a paved footpath that sits beneath an avenue of Arbours with neat topiary box hedges flanking it. There is also a generous stone patio, perfectly positioned to enjoy dining al-fresco during those hazy summer months. THE BARN Set to the rear of the main house and enjoying excellent privacy is a separate two bedroom detached dwelling, originally a barn/outbuilding for the main property, it was converted some 20 years ago to create a wonderful two bedroom detached bungalow that our present vendors have previously run as a self-catering holiday let for 16 years. Altogether a more contemporary affair, and therefore incredibly low maintenance, the property offers a smart kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a good range of wall and base units with provision for white goods and space for a breakfast table. A separate light and airy living room has French doors which open out onto a lovely patio and allows lots of light into the room. The larger bedroom has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a pedestal sink, bath with overhead shower and a low-level W.C, and the second if a smaller double or twin room which has access to a separate shower room fitted with a shower cubicle, pedestal sink and low-level W.C. Attached to The Barn is the good-sized garage with a large storeroom off it. To the front of the barn there is a stone chipped area with plenty of parking space. THE COPSE Set to the far end of Redcliffe Farm there is an incredible wooded copse that is planted with a variety of specimen trees and fruit trees. In spring a blanket of wildflowers populates the undergrowth making it a peaceful and enchanting space to enjoy.

OUR VENDOR SAYS Our best home ever because it is in a peaceful, private setting with well-planted gardens, and wooded area. We've had income from the holiday let over the years. Turn left and you are in the village centre in under 10 minutes' walking and turn right and you are in the countryside almost immediately

WE HAVE NOTICED Redcliffe Farm is a truly beautiful property, re-built some 50 years ago it has all the charm and character your could wish for without the pitfalls of an old house. The addition of a two-bedroom barn (bungalow) is wonderful for a dependent relative or indeed a great source of additional income
