Shawford Farm is a beautifully presented detached period property, with classic part tile hung, part brick elevations under a tiled roof, offering much charm and character and having the benefit of being unlisted. The property was acquired by the current owners in 2005, and is believed to date from 1860, with subsequent additions. It offers beautifully appointed accommodation and also has huge potential, as planning permission was granted in July 2018 (and is now lapsed) for a two storey addition to the side and rear, significantly extending the house. Plans can be viewed on request.

Shawford Farm is arranged over three floors, plus a wine cellar, and is ideally suited to family life, being both well-presented and comfortable.

Points of particular note include the sitting room, which has an impressive inglenook fireplace set with a wood burning stove as a focal point, and is a wonderful room for entertaining. An internal door opens to the conservatory, a more informal space which can be used throughout the year, with wide double doors opening to the terrace and an internal door to the dining room. The dining room also has wide double doors to the terrace, creating an excellent flow between inside and outside; it is open to the kitchen, which is well-equipped with bespoke wood cabinets complemented by granite surfaces, and an Aga with a decorative tiled splashback. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has far-reaching views over the south-east facing garden, to the meadow and fields beyond. It has an en suite bathroom with limestone tiling, a bath and separate shower cubicle, and has a dressing room accessed via the landing. There are two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom on this floor; on the second floor is a further bedroom and an office/bedroom five. There is eaves storage which could offer the potential to create a further bathroom.



Outside
Shawford Farm is approached via electronically operated gates which open to a gravelled courtyard offering parking for several vehicles in front of the house, the studio annexe and the garaging. The annexe offers a spacious open plan living room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a wood burner, a kitchen and shower room; it is ideal as picturesque guest or secondary accommodation.
The timber framed garaging offers a secure garage/ machinery store, two open bays, woodstore and garden storage.

The gardens and grounds are a lovely feature of the property; the house is approached by a charming parterre garden, with a well, a pergola and a brick and timber outbuilding which creates a useful detached utility room, with plenty of storage and plumbing and electricity connected. The elevated terrace has space for table and chairs; the lawn stretches gently away to the south east, with well-stocked beds at the borders and raised vegetable bed to one side. The lawn is open to the wildflower meadow, which has poultry coop sited in one corner. The gardens are fully enclosed by fencing and have access from Gun Road via a five bar gate. Beyond the gardens and wildflower meadow lie the fields and stream, which extend northeast. About 10.53 acres.
