Summary

A charming, spacious, and versatile family home. Built of Blue Lias elevations under a clay tiled roof, Old Home Farm seamlessly blends original period features with contemporary finishes, offering exceptional accommodation, a spacious kitchen/family hub for socialising and dining, and extensive landscaped gardens.

Accommodation

Old Home Farm occupies a discreet position on a quiet village road and is approached via a gravelled driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The house, believed to date back several centuries, has been tastefully extended and enhanced to create a wonderful mix of traditional and modern living spaces.

Entry is via a handsome stone boot room with leaded windows, exposed beams and stone flooring, opening into a small hallway. This in turn leads into the formal dining room—a striking heart to the home with flagstone flooring, dual aspect garden views, and a central wood-burning stove, ideal for evening gatherings.

A door leads into the cosy snug, featuring wooden floors and a characterful Inglenook fireplace with another wood burner—perfect for relaxing year-round. Adjacent is the light-filled garden room with exposed stonework and French doors opening to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

From the central dining area, one steps into a stunning open-plan kitchen/family space. Recently fitted with bespoke cabinetry, cream shaker-style units, quartz worktops, a large Belfast sink with Quooker tap (providing boiling, sparkling, and filtered water), and a range of integrated NEFF appliances, this is the true hub of the home. Appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher & wine cooler. A feature Inglenook fireplace with Bressummer beam offers space for an AGA or range cooker. Currently fitted with an ER7 electric AGA, which is available by separate, specific negotiation. A second wood burner at the far end enhances the flexible living area which could also serve as a breakfast or dining space.

A separate utility room and ground floor bathroom complete the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, the staircase leads to four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, wooden floorboards, and a beautiful stone wall. There is ample wardrobe space with potential for conversion into an en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are similarly sized, two with delightful window seats overlooking the garden, and one with a period fireplace. The large family bathroom offers a separate shower and bath, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

Outside

The gardens are a particular highlight—well-established, predominantly south-facing, and thoughtfully landscaped. Mature lawns, rose and hydrangea beds, gravel paths, and a large walnut tree offer both beauty and privacy. There is also a pond, a working well, greenhouse, two wooden sheds, and feature arches.

To the front is a smaller garden with apple and pear trees, a gravel driveway providing off road parking and a 7Kw EV charging point. Further practical features include a log store, water butts, and a twelve-panel solar array generating an approximate income of £1,600 p.a.
