4 bedroom detached house

The property
Old Farmhouse is a delightful period farmhouse benefitting from characterful and well proportioned accommodation. Charming period details are visible throughout, including exposed timbers and large stone inglenook.

A mature wisteria frames the picturesque frontage of the house, with the front door opening to the entrance hallway, from where the primary reception rooms radiate off. The dining room centres around the inglenook fireplace with original timber mantle. Adjacent is the cosy sitting room, whilst the more formal drawing room has a door out to the patio, from where you can enjoy the delightful garden vista. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room has been extended by the current owners and now offers a substantial, light filled space for entertaining with French doors opening out on to the patio and gardens beyond. The bespoke light oak kitchen and island cabinetry is topped with granite worksurfaces, and also include a cream AGA and double Belfast sink. A useful pantry, utility and shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor are two family bathrooms and three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built in storage space and all with a pretty outlook to the front of the house. To the second floor is an additional spacious bedroom, along with access to two useful loft rooms which offer the potential to be converted into additional accommodation if required (subject to the necessary consents).

Services: Mains electricity and water. Oil fired central heating. Septic tank drainage (we are currently investigating if the system complies with the general binding rules). All outbuildings benefit from power and lighting.

Outside
Old Farmhouse is approached over a large gravel driveway, that offers parking for a number of vehicles. A timber car port offers further parking and storage space, along with a range of versatile outbuildings that could be developed into home office, gym or additional accommodation (subject to gaining the necessary consents).

The beautiful gardens at Old Farmhouse are a particular feature of the property with well-manicured lawns, a variety of seasonal flowering plants, mature shrubs and a number of specimen trees. Offering beautiful locations for al fresco dining, to the rear of the house are two paved seating areas with a pathway leading to the greenhouse.
