Charming, detached U shaped steading conversion including a separate annexe.
Understood to have been originally constructed over 130 years ago, this distinctive U-shaped farm steading was thoughtfully converted into a residential dwelling approximately 31 years ago. The property combines traditional features with modern elements and offers a flexible layout that includes a self-contained annexe apartment. Flooring throughout the property is a tasteful mix of engineered oak, ceramic tiles and other hard surface finishes, while the majority of internal doors are crafted from pine, with matching pine skirtings, facings and window sills. Central heating is supported with a multi-fuel stove on a slate hearth with pointed stone recess and chimney breast in the sitting room, and an open fire with a pointed stone chimney breast in the lounge. The annexe also has a wood burning stove.
Internally, the home is rich in character. The delightful sitting room and central wing feature exposed timber joists, whilst the vaulted ceilings in both the sitting room and the principal bedroom showcase exposed roof beams, adding to the rustic feel. A home office/study is accessed from the sitting room and dual aspect windows provide lovely garden views.
The main kitchen is well-appointed with a range of farmhouse-style floor and wall cabinets featuring timber panel doors and drawer fronts. Extensive worksurfaces complement the units along with coordinating splashback tiling. Integrated appliances include a fridge, oven and a gas hob with extractor hood above. A utility room is fitted with a sink, units and worktops.
A striking open ash staircase leads from the dining room to the upper level, adding a touch of architectural interest. The principal bedroom suite has ample storage, an en suite bathroom and benefits from a Juliet balcony which enjoys countryside views. Opposite is the lounge which offers a calm retreat and views. This room is very versatile and could work as a playroom, hobby room or home office. Returning to the ground floor, three further bedrooms are serviced by a main bathroom with separate shower.
Adjacent to the garage is the cosy annexe which is ideal for extended family or guest accommodation. This self contained apartment has an open plan sitting room and kitchen fitted with modern cabinets, light worksurfaces and integrated appliances including an oven, hob with extractor hood and a fridge. Completing the annexe is a double bedroom and bathroom.
Outside: There are gravel drives off both the road at the front and the Netherhall farm track. The perimeter of the property is a formed by a combination of stone walls, timber fencing, stock fencing and tall beech hedges. The mainly lawned garden includes a greenhouse, log store and polytunnel.
Garage: Occupying a part of the west wing of the U shaped building is the garage/workshop. This has a concrete floor, an electronically operated timber up and over vehicular door in the rear gable, power and light.

This home is a testament to the perfect fusion of rustic charm and contemporary comfort. I love the flexibility of the self contained flat for multi-generational living space or holiday let
