Delightful farmhouse in a tucked away setting with established grounds.
Elms Farm is believed to date back to the C17th and is Grade II Listed being of special historical or architectural importance. The property is a charming detached farmhouse constructed from a timber frame and plastered with some brick and flint pebble facing under a pitched tiled roof. Internally the house is laid out over two floors and is presented to a high standard throughout with numerous features including, exposed beams and studwork, original doors, stone floors and polished oak boarded floors. The kitchen is superbly fitted with a large island unit which houses all the storage units, a fitted dishwasher, NEFF induction hob with Elica extractor, built in NEFF oven and sinks, with stone work surfaces. There is also an oil fired Rayburn. To one side of the kitchen is the utility/boot room which provides base units, a sink and space for a washing machine and dryer as well as a cloakroom. The two principal reception rooms are well proportioned light, airy rooms with large windows over looking the gardens. There is an impressive fireplace in the sitting room fitted with a wood burning stove. A study lies off the sitting room as well as a second cloakroom. The first floor is approached via a wooden staircase which leads onto a landing which leads through to a master bedroom. There are a further three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property has planning permission to create an en suite shower room off the master bedroom.

The farmhouse was restored a few years ago and is presented in a contemporary way with lovely gardens and in an off the beaten track setting and yet with great access to nearby towns and villages.
