Under the same ownership for over half a century, this substantial family home combines the original Grade II listed farmhouse with a 1970s wing, which results in an appealing balance of older, heavily timbered character with lighter generously proportioned rooms.
An entrance hall brings together the two wings of the house. The farmhouse has a wonderful wide dining room with a herringbone parquet floor and an inglenook to one end. Adjacent to this, a peaceful room with a brick floor has been used as a family chapel. Beyond the dining room is a butler's pantry and the kitchen/breakfast room. Useful spaces include a boot room, utility/laundry and pantry.
In addition to these wonderful, characterful rooms, the comparatively modern wing of the house was designed with entertaining in mind, having a beautifully proportioned drawing room and adjoining library. A study lies beyond. Herringbone parquet flooring and tall windows make for elegant rooms flooded with light.
Stairs from the hall rise to two bedrooms, the principal having a dressing room and an adjacent bathroom. The second bedroom has an en suite bathroom.
Four additional bedrooms in the older part of the house are approached by two further staircases allowing flexibility. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and an interconnecting sitting room leads to a further range of rooms, including a kitchen/dining room and a family bathroom; this space has been used as a self- contained flat.
