A wonderful three-bedroom semi-detached period home within an enchanting rural position surrounded by extensive picturesque grounds, including a shared lake, holiday lodge and separate wooden dwelling. This is a must-see property to be appreciated. 

The layout and separate outside accommodation offer flexible living or work from home options within a creative and inspiring environment.  

Off the beaten track and yet still incredibly close to amenities, Rookery Farm East is a truly unique character home nestled within a wooded nature-filled environment with a peace and serenity that is very hard to find. 

The property is approached via a long open driveway that arrives at a circular, shared gravelled parking area. First impressions of the frontal aspect immediately give you a sense of what an incredibly special and private place it is to live. 

Rookery Farm East occupies the left side of the farmhouse and is accessed via a stone footpath through a picture-perfect front garden. Entering the property through a wood panelled door you arrive at a reception hallway with a handy ground floor cloakroom/W.C. To the right is a light filled dual aspect sitting room with an oak wooden floor with French doors opening out to the incredible view of the lake outside. A wonderful feature fireplace provides a great focal point to the room and an enclosed staircase rises to the first floor. Beyond the sitting room, a pair of panelled wooden doors lead into a second reception room which also features the same wooden floor throughout. This spacious room also spans the front to rear of the house and is currently utilised by our vendor as a bedroom. 

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a farmhouse style kitchen, which also features a lovely dual aspect. The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted hand crafter units with a contrasting white countertop, there is a centralised painted beam to the ceiling and a tiled floor. The main kitchen window looks out over the gorgeous lake and stunning scenery beyond. Many birds and wildlife can be seen at the lakeside, including herons, moorhens, ducks and kingfishers feeding on the fish. 

To the side of the kitchen a door leads out to a beautiful patio area covered by a glazed pergola, which provides an intimate seating area to enjoy al fresco dining or whiling away the hours with a good book. 

Moving onto the first floor, you will find two generous double bedrooms, both of which have a southerly outlook over the garden and lake. There is also a large family bathroom with a bath, w.c and wash hand basin. There is plenty of space to re-arrange the bathroom and add a separate walk-in shower if desired. The bathroom has a window to the front over the pretty front lawn. 

In additional to the property's two first floor bedrooms, there is also a large attic with a staircase that is also currently used as storage or a guest bedroom. This great sized room has huge potential to be converted fully (with the correct permissions) to create a super master bedroom with en-suite and balcony. 

Outside, the setting and gardens in which Rookery Farm East sits are truly breath-taking, it would be very hard to find such an idyllically positioned home that is at one with the nature.  

The lake is thriving with wildlife, including several species of freshwater fish, nesting moorhen, ducks, a kingfisher, and even a resident grass snake, not to mention the dragon fly, butterflies and occasional Heron who pays a frequent visit. 

The established and incredibly private garden blends neat flower packed borders, with wild wilderness areas and a large open glade of grass. There is a circular herb garden, outside kitchen area and dining area adjacent to the lake, as well as many tracks and trails to explore. There are several outbuildings from which an income could be obtained including a picturesque and wonderfully positioned cabin, ideal for people looking for a get away from the rigours of everyday life. There is a second shanty/lodge that is set well away from the cabin, which also been skilfully crafted by our current owners to provide another workshop/living space, which could also be utilised for the Air B&B market with just a little TLC. 

In recent years the property had a modern sewage treatment plant installed and the heating is provided by oil fired central heating.
