The original front door opens into an elegant sitting and a formal dining room with two grand hearths, one dating back from 1831. Both are now fitted with log burners. This stunning room is perfect for warming up in front of the log burners after a windy walk on the moor.
A most impressive kitchen/breakfast room offering a combination of character and modern. A generous range of both base and eye line units with a central island fitted with Lacanche cooker and gas hobs above. The whole kitchen is a perfect space to cook and socialise. The dual aspect offers marvellous views of the gardens and beyond. Furthermore, there is a separate utility room offering space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The rear reception is a wonderful space offering access to all principal rooms, stairs rising to the first floor and a door to the boot room/cloakroom - this is a perfect area for storing shoes, boots, and outdoor clothing.
There are four delightful bedrooms upstairs, all with different aspects of the garden and each with their own character and charm. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive with plenty of floorspace. From here there is a door leading into the ensuite shower room that has been sympathetically designed. Furthermore, the upstairs accommodation includes a well finished bathroom with a window offering pretty views of part of the garden.
The grounds of Wakeham's Rook are arguably the ‘Jewel of the crown’. The gardens have been fabulously cared for with areas of lawn and terrace, shade and sun - a perfect spot to entertain family and friends. The vegetable garden offers a variety of crops and a stone potting shed. There are rhododendrons and camellias of many different varieties which start to flower from January onwards. There is a small apple orchard (varieties include James Grieve, Egremont russet to name a few – they are a mixture of cooking and eating apples). Below the formal garden are two paddocks each with a five-bar gate and stock fenced. The fields also have direct access to the lane from the lane and a natural brook supplying field water.
There is planning permission for conversion of barns into one dwelling, garage and domestic store and for a separate building comprised of 4 stables, hay store, feed room and barn. Furthermore, to the outside of the farmhouse, there are a number of stone-built buildings offering excellent storage provisions. The property benefits from off road parking for 2 cars.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 31, 2023
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
