A significant and historic Grade II* listed country house in about 2 acres.
A superb example of historic period architecture, with elements dating back to the 1500's, which has been carefully and sympathetically enhanced by a significant programme of refurbishment that has taken place over more recent years by the present owners. This beautiful family home offers tremendously flexible accommodation particularly to those who require multi-generational living space or need to work from home. Bonners Farm certainly evokes feelings of real style, warmth and comfort, and indeed, all the practicalities of modern day living.
The house is arranged around a sheltered cobbled courtyard with a lovely entrance hall featuring a very stylish cocktail bar area opening onto two comfortable seating areas which gives over 45' of entertaining space, a perfect spot for welcoming guests into your home. With four further sitting rooms, this is the perfect place to bring up a family with their ever changing dynamics. Whether you have preschoolers wishing to be close to the parents' bedroom or older teenagers wishing to have a degree of privacy in the ground floor east wing, the house provides a range of flexible sleeping arrangements.
In the main part of the house the extensive breakfast room is simply stunning. With a keen eye on quality, functionality, durability and design, the crisp polar white high gloss cabinets are complemented by a large central island unit with breakfast bar to seat six. The most discerning chef will be impressed by the high specification appliances including an induction hob with downdraft extractor, a pair of built in fan ovens, integrated coffee machine and two warming drawers. There is also a tall integrated larder fridge with adjacent freezer, integrated dishwasher and a Quooker tap.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright dining room with access to the more formal well room, which has doors out to the garden.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. The master suite has two dressing rooms and a further en-suite shower room located above with ample storage for the largest of fashion collections. The three independent bedrooms share two family bathrooms, perfect for those busy mornings. This is a very sociable home perfect for entertaining on a grand scale in all seasons.
Gatehouse
Access to the main house is through an arch which forms part of the detached gatehouse, which is now home to two separate home offices one either side of the archway. Extensive storage area above (could be converted subject to listed planning consent).
The gardens are extensive and well maintained with generous lawned areas surrounding the house on three sides with borders of evergreen hedges. There is lots of space to while away your time on a choice of terraces, whether outside the swimming pool or adjacent to the stylish outdoor covered eating area.
Agents note - The house is being sold on behalf of a relation to a Savills (UK) Limited employee.
