7 bedroom detached house for sale

Hyde Farm is believed to have roots dating back to the 15th century and is listed Grade II for its architectural merit. The house was extended in the 19th and 20th centuries and recently refurbished by the present owners to an exceptionally high standard.

The fine traditional barn along the northern elevation has very old features typical of the medieval period, including coupled rafters and a hipped roof. It has now been incorporated into the house to provide a superb double height drawing room.

The house is constructed of brick with tile hanging to the first floor and has some fine Jacobean panelling in the dining room. The hearth beam has a brand mark “FI” which may be the initials of the Ironmonger family. The present owners have undertaken a major restoration and refurbishment during their ownership, including extending the house into the garden to provide a wonderful garden room, together with a new kitchen, bathrooms, new services and modern features throughout.

The gardens are a key feature of Hyde Farm, having been lovingly landscaped over many years. Hyde Farm is approached over a long-gravelled drive from the village, which is screened from the house by tall hedging and a belt of trees, offering a high level of privacy.

The drive continues to a courtyard enclosed on three sides by the house and its adjacent garage range. Lying mainly to the south, the gardens include well-formed borders within box hedging and neat gravelled paths. Opening out from the garden room and kitchen are extensive paved terraces, ideal for al fresco entertaining. A hard-surfaced tennis court and adjoining seating area sit within the grounds.

To the north are two well-fenced paddocks, ideal for those with equestrian interests.
