Description

Kimpton Manor Farmhouse is a fine example of a Grade II listed former farmhouse, further extended and possessing both heritage character and contemporary comfort.

The heart of the home is the main reception room where a magnificent inglenook fireplace creates an atmospheric focal point perfect for cosy evening and memorable gatherings. A door from this room leads to the snug/playroom/study which has access to the rear garden.

At the opposite end of the property, a generous two storey extension enhances the living space, blending seamlessly with the original structure. The standout feature is the spacious open plan, triple aspect kitchen with its large central granite island unit and designed for family life, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment. Further reception space is found in the adjoining garden room which has French doors to the gardens.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, including four impressive doubles. The principal bedroom suite has a dressing room, en suite bathroom and stairs up to the loft room which could be used as a dressing area/study or storage.

The farmhouse sits centrally within its generous plot, creating a strong sense of connection with both the front and rear gardens.
