The Property
Appleton Farm is a wonderfully quaint home, Listed Grade II, set to the edge of the village. Having undergone significant improvements by the current owners, it thoughtfully blends all of the original retained features such as beamed ceilings, deep windowsills, open fires, ledge and brace doors, and exposed stone walls together with a classic and modern edge, whilst conserving its undoubtable charm.

The property is accessed through a glazed timber door into a welcoming entrance hallway, with its exposed stone wall, and provides access to all of the rooms and guest cloakroom. The kitchen is fitted with a French inspired theme and is equipped with a range of freestanding, base level units with zinc worktops and plenty of space for appliances. The kitchen free flows into a timber sunroom which forms an ideal dining space which is surrounded by views over the private garden. A useful laundry/ boot room is located close by to the kitchen and includes space for appliances, fitted coats and boots storage and directly accesses the garage.

The cosy dining room, which could double as a snug room, with its beamed ceiling, creates an intimate formal dining space with an open fireplace and shuttered window overlooking the gardens. It links through to the sitting room which, with its inglenook with oak lintel and wood burner is a wonderful retreat and can connect to the garden through what was the original front door. Opposite the sitting room is an inner hallway with French doors leading onto the gravelled driveway, creating a useful nook ideal for additional workspace if required. A useful study/ playroom completes the ground floor.

To the first floor, are four excellent sized double bedrooms, all with garden views. The principal bedroom has a dual aspect over the garden and a well appointed ensuite shower room. The main bathroom, which includes separate double shower enclosure and bath, is a beautifully restful space which has views towards the open fields beyond.

Appleton Farm benefits from approved planning permission for a first floor extension over the garage, conversion of the exisiting garage and a single storey rear extension. Creating a large kitchen/ dining/ family room and master suite. Further details available from the selling agents.,
