4 bedroom detached house

The Grade II Listed farmhouse sits in a peaceful rural setting and offers significant potential for improvement to create an idyllic family home. The farmhouse dates originally from the 17th century with more recent additions and provides more than 3,000 square feet of accommodation with four bedrooms and plenty of original character. Meanwhile, the plot includes an adjacent traditional barn which has planning consent for conversion to a one bedroom dwelling/annexe and a circa 2.5 acre garden with orchard & pond.

The farmhouse has well-proportioned reception rooms, high ceilings and several elegant period features, including ornate ceiling mouldings, tiled flooring and original fireplaces. The ground floor has a comfortable drawing room and sitting room, a formal dining room and a useful study. The kitchen has fitted storage units and integrated appliances, while there is also an Aga in the kitchen/dining area within a large (but currently bricked over) inglenook fireplace. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining room which could be used as a dressing room or converted into an en suite bathroom. The generous principal bedroom has extensive fitted storage and intricate ceiling plasterwork, while the first floor also includes a large, recently updated family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, dual washbasins and a separate walk-in shower. The farmhouse has been almost entirely re-roofed in 2022.

The farmhouse site features a traditional barn immediately adjacent to the house, with residential planning consent (planning ref: 13/20/00029). There is potential to knock through and connect with the farmhouse internally at ground floor level(subject to consent).
To the rear of the house there are expansive gardens and an orchard of around 2.5 acres with a tennis court, red brick garden walls and a pond.
