4 bedroom farm house

Wicketthorn Farmhouse

Wicketthorn is a traditional farmhouse which requires some modernisation to make it an extremely desirable home. The front door opens into the hallway where the two reception rooms are accessed and stairs to the first floor. There is a useful cupboard under the stairs. The impressive living and dining room benefits from an electric fireplace and the sitting room an open fireplace. Off the sitting room, the kitchen and inner hallway are accessed. There is scope to extend the kitchen through to the sitting room if desired to make it the heart of the home.

From the inner hallway there is a laundry room with fitted base units and sink, a utility/boot room where the boiler is located and downstairs bathroom which has a shower, w.c. and sink. The four bedrooms upstairs are all doubles. The family bathroom has a roll top bath, sink and w.c. There is a useful airing cupboard on the landing.

Wicketthorn benefits from an easily maintained private garden and paddock extending to 0.41 acres.
Given the spacious accommodation on offer, viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
