Description
Crouch Hill Farm is situated at the end of its own tarmacadam drive in a rural location. The house offers a traditional farmhouse layout with huge potential for extension and further modernisation subject to planning consents.
On entering the property into the reception hall there is access to three reception rooms with generous proportions and high ceilings. The utility/boot room, cloakroom and cellar are also accessible. The drawing room has an open fire place with double aspect windows and views of the garden to the south and west. The study/sitting room offers a cosy reading space with wood burning stove and Bespoke floor to ceiling adjustable shelves along two walls. The larger dining room, perfect for entertaining, has a Stovax wood burning stove and opens through into the south east facing kitchen/breakfast room with built in cupboards and drawers, Neff electric oven, 4 ring Bosch electric hob and a 2 ring gas hob (bottled gas). There is a very useful separate pantry for food storage, and a large utility room which may have once been the old farm dairy. Cellar with fitted wine racks.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom/dressing room and dual aspect windows with stunning views over open countryside. There are four further bedrooms with views of the paddock and a family bathroom.
Outside the gardens provide a lovely private entertaining space, with plenty of flat lawn for playing croquet, planted with mature trees and shrubs. The rear terrace adjacent to the house offers a real sheltered sunny spot for the greenhouse and seating areas to enjoy. There are a number of garden tool sheds for storing garden equipment. A range of single storey buildings provides three stables, a workshop, garden tractor store and a large double garage. The privately owned drive does allow the neighbour a right of way over it, with a split share on the upkeep. Accessed directly from the drive is the Dutch Barn, sheeted down on three sides and extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft, which provides a number of opportunities (subject to planning consents) for further garaging, home office or business use. The opportunities are endless!
There is also a hard standing tennis court, completely resurfaced in 2020, enclosed by mature hedging. There is a small orchard at the top of the garden. The paddock adjoins Crouch Hill. On the eastern boundary is a large spinney planted about forty years ago and a further spinney planted a few years ago of about one hundred mixed trees including some fine oak. There is also a smaller spinney by the orchard. In all about 5.9 acres.
