Lime Kiln Farm is the rare combination of a relatively modern house on a manageable scale, in an unspoilt rural and peaceful setting with about 12 acres of its own meadows, gardens and outbuildings. It is a brilliant package of buildings and land, and has a tremendous amount of adaptability to suit many lifestyles.

The house, of traditional brick and flint construction, was built in the mid 1990s in a south facing position. It has a conventional layout, with good scale to all rooms with each enjoying views over the land and countryside beyond. An entrance hall opens to the staircase hall, with the two principal living spaces either side. An open plan kitchen/breakfast room is a great space to enjoy, with fitted kitchen including peninsular open to the dining space. The dual aspect windows allow in plenty of light. The same can be said for the living room, which is triple aspect with French doors out to the garden. This room also includes a wood burner, and is a spacious yet cosy room.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms off a central landing. All of the rooms have their own built-in wardrobes, providing essential storage, and all are served by the large bathroom with shower. The house has a user friendly and conventional layout.

Outbuildings and grounds
To the east of the house is a range of outbuildings that provide excellent opportunities. A traditional former dairy provides plenty of storage space, with an adjoining workshop and storage. This is connected to a further covered area of about 15.5m x 11.9m. The latter now has areas where the roof has failed, and will need investment to utilise fully. The former dairy is in good order.

The grounds are a defining feature of Lime Kiln Farm. About 12 acres, surrounding the house, of gently undulating land that has been well maintained, creating a park-like setting. An initial drive leads up to the house and garage, with an expansive gravelled parking and turning area. Lawns sweep round the house from east west, framed in part by hedging. A paved terrace enjoys a south to west aspect, onto which the French doors from the living room open to. The lawns stretch away from the house, blending into managed woodland, with willow, oak, beech and horse chestnut. To the south of the woodland is a productive orchard, underplanted with seasonal bulbs providing a fine display of daffodils in the spring.

The wider land is a significant expanse of meadowland, an open space that has been grazed by sheep to create an even area of grazing. The area has been well managed and not over grazed.
