5 bedroom detached house

Of periods origins, with attractive stone elevations with brick quoins under a pitched slate roof, Dredges Farmhouse has just undergone a major programme of refurbishment. Works have included electrical re-wiring, re-plumbing, installation of a new oil-fired combi boiler, new radiators and structural works including moving the staircase. In addition, the kitchen/breakfast room has been opened up and a new kitchen installed with quartz worktops. Appliances include a Hisensa fridge/freezer, Zanussi oven and microwave and a reconditioned electric AGA by Blake and Bull. Adjoining is a well-equipped pantry with a copper sink and granite work top. High quality fittings have been used throughout, particularly in the bathrooms with a mixture of marble and stone wall tiles. The accommodation is now sensibly configured with attributes including beamed ceilings and open fireplaces in the dining and drawing rooms. The blue lias stone in the dining room has been cleaned and a new stone terracing laid adjoining the rear facade. Other attributes worthy of note include a useful range of outbuildings; the two stables with ancillary storage could be converted into an annexe or office subject to the usual planning consents.

The property is approached from the lane onto a gravelled drive leading to a car parking and turning area at the rear. The drive is flanked by a stone wall leading to a stone garage with a slate roof. There are two timber stables with an additional store room and at the rear a large open bay storage shed which could be put to a variety of uses. Steps lead from the gravel car parking area to the rear garden which is flanked on both sides by walls and timber fencing. There are well stocked flower and shrub borders with a post and rail fence at the end beyond which is the L-shaped paddock. A footpath runs from the church to the north of the post and rail fence dividing the rear garden from the paddock; there is an agreed vehicular access to the paddock from the local estate. There are a variety of mature trees including silver birch, yew, and cherry.
