Stunning newly refurbished turnkey home. Set within 12 acres of established grounds boasting a modern self-contained one bedroom annexe, situated in a rural location.
Burnt House Farm is an impressive and considerably unique family home dating from the 1950's with later additions, which has been substantially extended and refurbished to a high specification throughout by the current owners, resulting in beautifully presented accommodation with a contemporary twist arranged over two floors. In addition, there is a stylish single storey annexe, providing flexible ancillary accommodation, all set amidst lovely gardens, grounds and pretty vineyard totalling over 12 acres. The current owners have the grazing land maintained by a local farmer.
The ground floor accommodation, featuring wood flooring to several rooms, includes a study with original feature fireplace and a dual aspect sitting room with working fireplace and French doors which open to a beautiful Indian natural sandstone terrace.
A particular feature is the magnificent open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room with wet underfloor heating and direct access, via bi-fold doors to the lovely terrace. The bespoke fitted kitchen is equipped with a range of cupboards and central island with Quartz work surfaces. Appliances include an electric Aga, integral dishwasher, fridge/freezer and wine cooler. A well considered feature is the oak framed picture window, which allows ample light into the breakfast area and also provides seating. The utility room has further storage with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and houses the boiler. Completing the ground floor is a beautifully finished, modern shower room.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the majority enjoying a dual aspect and all having scenic countryside views. The principal bedroom has a contemporary en suite shower room and dressing room, with guest bedroom two also having an en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish modern family bathroom.
Burnt House Farm is accessed via a timber gate leading to a generous stone chip driveway with ample parking and an oak fronted triple garage with electric roller shutter doors. The gardens provide a delightful backdrop, with the front garden being partially enclosed by an old Bethersden marble and brick wall with level lawns and Bramley apple trees which are thought to date from circa 1952. The gardens continue, stretching around to the south east with further lawned areas, a pond with a stone pathway leading through an avenue of hornbeams to a large steel framed barn, open to two sides, suitable for a range of uses and overlooking a landscaped Gravel Garden with several raised beds, stone filled gabions and wooden topped table in situ. Located behind the barn is a polytunnel adjacent to which are various fruit trees.
The pretty annexe, clad in Siberian larch and benefitting from electric underfloor heating, provides versatile ancillary accommodation comprising an open plan kitchen/sitting room, a bedroom and modern shower room.
There is a small vineyard planted with about 240 Bacchus vines; with a potential yield for up to 720 bottles of Bacchus wine. Completing the property are three fields with mixed hedging to the boundaries, currently down to grazing and with water connected. One of the fields benefits from its own septic tank and power supply.
