5 bedroom detached house

With origins believed to date to the 18th century, and with attractive elevations of Flemish bond, Farnley Tyas offers a wealth of character features with a harmonious blend of vintage and more recent revealed timbers, alongside exposed brick walls, ledged plank doors and vintage fireplaces. On the ground floor, a drawing room enjoys the warming ambience of a wood-burning stove and the striking stepped and timber-framed portal at the base of the stair case. A step-level change leads into the adjoining versatile-use snug which has French doors opening to the garden terrace and an internal link to the impressive kitchen dining room. With a shiny, black range stove at its heart, free-standing cabinetry and rustic terracotta flooring, this is a sociable setting filled with natural light courtesy of a skylight lantern and full-height windows and glazed doors which offer a seamless link from the inside to the outside terracing. A useful study offers a refuge for home-workers and along with a cloakroom completes the lower level rooms.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has wardrobe storage and access to en suite facilities offering a bath tub and shower cubicle. There are four further bedrooms, two of which are linked offering options to provide a bedroom and adjoining dressing room, along with a modern shower room on this upper level. Stunning supplemental accommodation is offered by the timber-framed barn studio set in the garden, which is filled with natural light and features the drama of a vaulted ceiling and exposed beamed framework. The studio provides a spacious living area, kitchenette and shower room, with a mezzanine bedroom.
Currently offering an income stream and listed in The Sunday Telegraph as one of ‘10 coolest BnBs in Britain’, this unique outbuilding provides flexible-use options depending on requirements.

The frontage of the home is adorned by climbing plants and a pretty picket-fence fronts the lane. A brick-paved pathway leads to the front door, whilst a vehicular entry route is provided from the rear lane and offers access to a parking area. The tranquil garden is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with specimen trees and framed by well-stocked borders, with a dedicated vegetable growing space. A paved terrace, with low brick wall surround, adjoins the home offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation, whilst the studio has a private outdoor area offering a spot for dining al fresco and to enjoy this garden sanctuary.

Historic Blewbury occupies a scenic setting, nestled at the foot of the North Wessex Downs, which is criss-crossed by chalk streams rising from springs and forming natural ponds around the village.

Leisure activities are offered at the Blewbury Clubhouse, which provides a sports and community centre, with cricket, tennis and croquet clubs, as well as a local drama group.
