Rooms

We spoke to the vendors and this is what they had to say about their lovely property:
It was a combination of the superb location and the history of the house that initially drew us to it. I remember the first time we came to view it; we stepped inside and it immediately had the wow factor. The beautiful exposed beams and timbers, the fireplaces and old doors... they all combine to give it a huge amount of character and charm. We also loved the sense of space and the versatility of the house. It has a big footprint and so all of the rooms are nicely proportioned, and after our son came along we were able to adapt and change the use of certain rooms so we could create a playroom and a quiet space for him to sleep in, but at the same time have more grown-up areas for our downtime and for entertaining friends and family. We also have a well proportioned garden that’s been designed to be very low maintenance and that is not overlooked which has been another huge bonus.

Seller Insight
There’s a patio area for alfresco meals; we’ve had lovely breakfasts and barbecues there, an area of artificial lawn, and there’s also a big workshop, which we’ve always thought has huge potential to be converted. In short, it’s a beautiful period home, but it also works incredibly well for modern family life.

Seller Insight
As the name suggests, this used to be a farmhouse, and originally it would have stood on hundreds of acres. However, over time the land has been developed and in more recent years the outbuildings were converted into homes and, along with our house, now form this lovely little private, gated community. Our neighbours are all so nice; we’re not in each other’s pockets but there’s a really good sense of community here, and it’s a place where we’ve always felt very safe and secure. We also love the fact that we are in the heart of the village, which is a gorgeous place with a Post Office and shop, a library, pretty churches and two outstanding rated primary schools.

Seller Insight
There’s also a country club, which we’re members of. It’s set in ten acres and has tennis courts, squash courts, there are cricket matches in the summer, various events, and there’s also a bar and restaurant. The village has lots to offer and it’s surrounded by stunning countryside so it’s great for walking too.

Seller Insight
We’re moving to be closer to our places of work, but if we could pick up this house and take it with us we’d do it in a heartbeat. It’s absolutely gorgeous and totally unique, and it sits in such an amazing spot. We felt so lucky when we found it, and we’ve no doubt that the new owners will love living here every bit as much as we have.
