A charming farmhouse with annex and over 4 acres of gardens and paddock situated on edge of popular village green.
Fieldgate Farmhouse is a very attractive Grade II listed property situated on the edge of popular Ugley Green.
Surrounded by beautiful mature trees and rolling countryside, the house would suit anyone who is looking for the rural way of life but still having easy access to local amenities and commuter transport links.
The property is entered up a gated gravel drive which leads to the main house, annex and garaging. There is parking space for multiple vehicles. To the right there is a well maintained front garden and pretty picket fence. A lovely mature tree line provides privacy to the south east.
Internally, the property is arranged as a five bedroom main house with connected two bedroom annex. On the ground floor the main house has a good flow around multiple reception areas including a fantastic full length drawing room, cosy living room, study and fabulous kitchen-breakfast-dining area which leads on to the gardens and patio terrace.
The house is superbly presented throughout with all bathrooms having been refurbished very tastefully within the last five years.
The house is Grade II listed with the eldest parts of the property dating back to 14th Century and is beautifully presented with a wealth of period features, including lovely inglenook fireplaces and charming exposed beams. The current owners have owned the property for over 25 years and in that time the house has been meticulously maintained and improved. Refurbishment works include the fully fitted kitchen which has been tastefully styled and includes a fabulous oak wood topped island unit, Aga Range cooker and integrated Siemans appliances.
There is a useful utility room and guest WC and multiple doors leading to the garden from the house.
Upstairs, there are five bedrooms logically arranged around the central landing. The principal bedroom suite is dual aspect, generous and includes fully fitted wardrobes and a fantastic east facing en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower. There are four further bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a dressing area. The views from each room are delightful and either over look the garden or the countryside.
The annex was refurbished in 2019 and has the most magnificent double height vaulted ceiling kitchen living room with stunning exposed beams. It has the perfect blend of modern living within a period property. The bright kitchen area has a lovely island unit complete with breakfast bar and bi folding doors which lead to the fabulous garden beyond. This could also be used as a separate entrance to the annex away from the house making the arrangement ideal for multi-generational living as there is a second driveway to the property up the lane.
Outside, the gardens and grounds are absolutely beautiful. There is a tennis court and several areas designed for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Planted with additional privacy in mind, there is the most magnificent conifer hedge separating a paddock from the main house and garden.
Overall, this house is superb. It is in fantastic condition throughout and the space is flexible. The house is positioned centrally within the whole plot and enjoys lovely views.

Fieldgate Farm house has one of my favourite kitchens we currently have on the market. I think the house will suit a variety of type of buyer but especially a multi-generational family. If my family had an annex like the one here, I would never have left home! The gardens are lovely and the hedge reminds me of Narnia!
