6 bedroom detached house for sale

A fine Grade II listed residence with superb countryside views.

Description

High Ash Farm is a Grade II listed period home which dates from the 16th century with later additions in the 19th century. Offering substantial, characterful accommodation in a highly sought-after and accessible location, the property is being sold with the advantage of no onward chain and sits within grounds of about two acres, providing a tranquil and private setting ideal for family life or entertaining.

The accommodation spans an impressive 5,500 square feet to the main house and comprises excellent family space. The ground floor consists of: an entrance hall, a sitting room with feature fireplace, drawing room with fireplace, dining room, study, office and kitchen/breakfast room. A large utility room and cloakroom complete the level. This flexible amount of living space provides a family with a multitude of rooms which can serve several purposes such as ideal working from home rooms, children’s playrooms, downstairs bedrooms if required and separate TV rooms. The layout also lends itself well to multi-generational living or those seeking space for hobbies and leisure.

To the first floor are six bedrooms and both the principal and second bedrooms benefit from en suites which is a rare find for a home of this age. The remaining rooms are served via a well-proportioned family bathroom. A second floor boasts four attic rooms giving excellent storage space but also further scope for extra bedrooms and accommodation should a buyer wish to increase the usable size. These rooms could be transformed into guest suites, creative studios, or additional home offices.

Throughout the property are a number of period features such as exposed beams and timbers as well as fireplaces. The imposing design of the house stands it apart from a more typical farmhouse and it embodies a more manageable manor house in terms of its presence and size. The blend of historic charm and practical living makes High Ash Farm a truly unique opportunity for those seeking a distinguished country residence with exceptional potential.

Outside
High Ash Farm is approached via a gravel driveway that provides off-road parking for several vehicles, along with both a single and double garage offering secure parking and additional storage. Set within grounds of approximately 2.5 acres, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and feature several areas of interest, creating a sense of character and maturity throughout the outdoor space. A variety of specimen trees, shrubs, and hedging enhance the privacy of the plot without detracting from the stunning countryside views that surround the property on three sides.
A well-positioned tennis court offers an excellent opportunity for family recreation within the grounds. Additionally, a charming coach house comprises five separate rooms and a hayloft on the first floor, presenting exciting potential for conversion—subject to the necessary permissions. This space could lend itself to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even income generation, making it a versatile and valuable asset to the property.
