About this property

  • Lily Farm, a pretty brick and flint farmhouse, occupies a peaceful semi-rural location looking over its own beautiful gardens and land with views down the valley. Believed to date back to about 1850, with later sympathetic additions, this charming property is now in need of updating and offers a superb opportunity to create a wonderful country home of true character. About 21 acres in all.

    The delightful gardens of Lily Farm wrap around the house on three sides so most of the rooms in the house enjoy fabulous garden views. The front door opens into a reception hall, with a guest cloakroom, while a side door leads into a porch/ boot room and through to the kitchen. Overlooking the garden to the rear, the drawing room is of excellent proportions with a feature brick inglenook fireplace with an oak mantel and open fire. Across the hall lies a further reception room, currently arranged as a study. A formal dining room overlooks the frontage, with French doors on to the garden, and leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room. The breakfast area, with exposed ceiling beams, looks over the garden, and the kitchen itself is equipped with a range of country style units complemented by granite worktops and an electric AGA with a brick surround. Just off the kitchen is a utility area, with space and plumbing for appliances. A cellar, accessed from the kitchen, provides further useful space, ideal for wine storage.

    On the first floor is the principal bedroom, two family bathrooms and five further characterful bedrooms, all having delightful views and most with fitted wardrobes. With a lovely dual aspect the principal bedroom has a range of built in wardrobes, two window seats to enjoy the view and an en suite shower room with a separate WC.

    Outside
    Lily Farm is approached from a quiet no through country lane, with a parking area for several cars and a double garage. Steps lead to the front of the house and a delightful par terre garden with box and beech hedging. There are two old stables currently used as a wood and tool store. Enveloping the house the gardens are wonderfully secluded, with a large expanse of lawn interspersed with mature trees and an orchard with fruits including apple, pear and cherry, edged by woodland. The formal gardens are beautifully landscaped with well stocked beds and borders and honeysuckle hedging. Of particular note is a rarely seen Medlar tree. The rear of the house is clad with a mature wisteria and a raised stone terrace gives a perfect spot for entertaining and enjoying the garden. Additionally is an outdoor heated swimming pool with surround, and a pool/summer house. There are two large fields, one split in two with post and rail fencing, ideal for equestrian use. One of the fields has gate access from the garden and has a useful outbuilding which could easily be converted into stables, subject to the usual consents. A bridleway leads from the fields offering excellent riding.
