Set behind a gated sweeping gravel driveway and surrounded by open countryside, Slampstead Farm is an exceptional family home that successfully combines the character and scale of a traditional farmhouse with the comforts and technology of modern living.

Sympathetically enhanced by the current owners, the property is not listed and offers three floors of beautifully arranged accommodation, complemented by a substantial range of outbuildings, equestrian facilities and approximately 5.7 acres of gardens and paddocks, equipped with fully alarmed security system.

The attractive rendered elevations and traditional rooflines create an elegant first impression, whilst the extensive grounds and far-reaching views provide a wonderful sense of space and seclusion.

The House

A covered entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall which immediately establishes the generous proportions found throughout the home. From here, the principal reception rooms flow naturally, creating a layout ideally suited to both family life and entertaining.

The drawing room is a particularly impressive space, featuring a vaulted ceiling and fireplace, with a dual aspect that fills the room with natural light and frames views across the surrounding gardens and countryside. A dedicated study with fitted furniture provides an excellent work-from-home environment, whilst a separate television room offers a more informal retreat.

At the heart of the house lies the outstanding open-plan kitchen, with a dining and family area. Thoughtfully designed as a true hub of the home, this substantial space combines contemporary styling with practical family living. The kitchen is centred around a large island and incorporates an Aga alongside a range of integrated appliances.

The generous dining and seating areas open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility and boot room with secondary access to the grounds.

The first floor provides three well proportioned bedrooms. Two benefit from fitted wardrobes and en suite bath or shower facilities, while a stylish family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

On the second floor are two further bedrooms, also benefitting from fitted wardrobes, together with an additional shower room, creating an ideal arrangement for older children, guests or multi-generational living.

The property has also been significantly upgraded behind the scenes, with modern heating, plumbing and electrical systems. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, as well as Cat 5 cabling with Control4 and integrated TV and AV wiring throughout.

Gardens, Outbuildings & Equestrian Facilities

The house is approached through gates via a sweeping gravel driveway which leads to a traditional triple-bay cart lodge, providing excellent covered parking and storage.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately 5.7 acres in total. Broad expanses of lawn create a classic parkland setting around the house, whilst mature trees and established planting provide colour, privacy and year round interest.

To the rear, a substantial wrap around terrace enjoys a wonderful outlook across the grounds and offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond lies the heated outdoor swimming pool, positioned to capture the open views across the surrounding countryside.

The combination of formal gardens and paddocks makes the property equally well suited to family recreation, equestrian use or those seeking a manageable country estate.

Positioned to the north of the house and approached via a separate driveway is an excellent range of outbuildings which significantly enhance the property's versatility.

These include stabling, a tack room, an open pole barn and a detached double garage. A ménage is situated to the rear, creating a comprehensive equestrian facility.

The buildings offer considerable flexibility and may lend themselves to a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
