3 bedroom detached house for sale

Period house with adjacent barn in the centre of this sought after village



Description

Situated in the heart of the sought after village of Pirton, Elm Tree Farm is a charming Grade II listed period farmhouse dating back in parts to the early 15th century, together with a part converted detached barn with residential use.

The house and barn retain a wealth of character with the main house having been sympathetically restored and extended by the current owners using locally sourced reclaimed period materials and is an authentic and spacious family home full of charm. The rooms contain some fantastic beams and fireplaces as well as warm exposed brickwork.

The barn has been part converted and still requires glazing and internal fit out, but has its own separate access and offers great flexibility for new owners to decide how to finish, with potential use as either ancillary residential accommodation for family members, a rental investment, home office space or potentially leisure or gym use.

The house is laid out over two floors with the ground floor having four reception rooms and a kitchen breakfast room. On the first floor the main bedroom has an en suite shower room, the second bedroom has a dressing room and there is a third bedroom and large modern family bathroom. The first floor rooms enjoy vaulted ceilings adding to the sense of space.

The house is set in private and mature gardens approached by an extensive gravel driveway. This leads to a double garage attached to the barn with an office and storeroom above. The gardens surround the house with a walled courtyard garden with pond providing space for alfresco dining and entertaining. There are lawns to the front and side of the property well screened by a variety of mature shrubs and trees.

The barn sits next to the house and has its own vehicular access and lawn to front.
