A handsome four bedroom family home with beautifully established gardens in a rural setting.

Description

Church Farm is a handsome period home dating back to circa 1870 which has been sympathetically preserved with a variety of character features remaining, including original fireplaces, intricate ceilings roses and deep bay windows which have been attractively combined with a tasteful modern décor scheme. The idyllic setting has a distinct rural feel, and the house enjoys pleasant green views across its gardens and the countryside beyond. Inside it is deceptively light and airy, thanks in part to the high ceilings and the large windows providing ample natural light. The house is very well presented internally, having been subject to a number of updates over the years including a lovely garden room with underfloor heating added in 2021 and newly refurbished bathrooms. The grand and well-proportioned rooms offer great potential for entertaining friends at home and large family celebrations.

The generous accommodation extends to more than 2800 sq ft across two floors, including a choice of reception room, ideal for the demands of busy family life. A bright welcoming entrance hall opens to a family room and sitting room both of which have large bay windows and fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove, leading through to the handsome kitchen/dining room complete with useful adjacent utility room, WC and boot room/study. From the kitchen/dining room is the bright and airy triple-aspect garden room with floor to ceiling windows providing wonderful views across the rear gardens. Occupying the first floor is the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room with walk-in mixer shower, three additional good-size bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary family bathroom.

The home is set back from the road behind a well-sized driveway providing off-street parking with access to a detached coach house incorporating a double garage and ample storage space for further vehicles. The attractive rear gardens are beautifully established and offer herbaceous border plants, mature trees and a greenhouse. The park-like grounds wrap around the house and include expansive lawns with a summer house and spacious patios perfectly designed for al fresco dining with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. There are various outbuildings including several workshops and garden stores, with excellent potential for conversion.
