4 bedroom house for sale

Steeped in history, this outstanding four bedroomed Grade II listed residence is a unique family home that retains a wealth of character and sits in an elevated position with stunning views over the Damflask Reservoir and High Bradfield. The current owners purchased the property as a shell and carried out a sympathetic restoration to create generous accommodation that is set over three floors.

Dating back to 1760 and gaining a listed status in 1990, Oaks Farm has an abundance of interesting history and period features. The heavy ceiling beams, within the dining kitchen and lounge, were reclaimed from the demolished Manor House which was situated in the current paddock. There is also an original door bolt in the dining kitchen that is believed to be around 400 years old. Other attractive features of the home include stone mullioned windows, original stone flagged flooring, exposed stone and an original terracotta ridged butler's sink. Oaks Farm has been passed through many families over the years and has more recently been enjoyed for 25 years as a family residence.

This wonderful home comprises on the ground floor of three spacious reception rooms, a well-appointed dining kitchen that cleverly blends old and new features, a useful laundry room, WC and a rear entrance vestibule. The ground floor also benefits from under floor heating. On the first floor there are three large double bedrooms, one en-suite and a superb family bathroom. The second floor is solely allocated to the luxurious master bedroom suite which contains a fabulous dressing room, a sizeable bedroom and a contemporary master en-suite bathroom.

The exterior of Oaks Farm enjoys the breathtaking views of Damflask Reservoir and beyond. The gardens include a large lawned area and multiple seating terraces, all enclosed by dry stone walling. There is also ample off-road parking for several vehicles and a detached garage.
