Mapletree Farm occupies the main section of a former large country residence dating back to the 17th Century. Converted in 1957, three properties were created, with Mapletree Farm occupying the main entrance and centre section of this large house with substantial grounds, separate Annex, Barn and further outbuildings sited across approximately 2.5 acres.
The principal house which is Grade 11 Listed has been sympathetically renovated and updated by the current owners whilst retaining a wealth of charm and character. Benefitting from two separate driveways, each with gated access, the main shared gravel driveway leads to the front of the property with parking for multiple cars. A second drive to the right of the picturesque village pond on the wide grass verge, provides access to the rear of the garden with parking for several vehicles and access to the separate annexe and double open bay garage with Games room above.
The front door to the House opens into an inviting hallway which leads to the lounge with beamed ceiling, solid oak block parquet floor and original large inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. This leads into the inner hallway with impressive panelled walls and staircase which in turn leads into the Farmhouse style kitchen/dining room the 'heart of the home'. Extensively remodelled and beautifully appointed with a range of custom made Neptune units, new electric 5 oven Aga, two double butler sinks and fitted pantry. An entrance hatch leads to a cellar which could be utilised for wine or similar. A further door leads off the Kitchen into a further reception room used as a library/snug with handmade bookshelves. The kitchen also gives access to a fitted utility/boot room with separate cloakroom which opens out onto the rear courtyard.
The inner hall, complimented with fitted cupboards and under stair storage, is flooded by natural light from a large roof lantern and features a magnificent oak staircase and galleried landing. This provides access to the four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one en suite to the master. There is a bonus room leading off the third bedroom which could be used as a study or potentially provide an en suite facility. The house has access to two large lofts one of which is fully boarded providing further storage space.
