    About this property

    • Carters Farm is a magnificent Grade II listed period home that has been meticulously extended and modernised by the current owners to a very high standard.

      The overall character and style of the home remains, blending seamlessly with modern conveniences and technology.

      The open plan entrance hall is central to the reception spaces of the home which include a formal sitting room, casual snug and a private study. There is also a guest cloakroom, utility and cellar for storage.

      Without doubt the centrepiece of the house is the vast open plan kitchen / garden room / orangery which provide the hub for family living and entertaining. Bespoke handmade kitchen cabinets incorporate high-end appliances with a large island unit and breakfast bar. This leads into a casual dining and seating area with bi-folding doors leading out onto the terrace and pool area.

      Upstairs, the house has been cleverly reconfigured to provide a sumptuous main bedroom suite with dressing room, impressive en suite bathroom and panoramic views over the garden and fields beyond. There are three further bedrooms and two more bathrooms, both of which can be en suite if required.

      The house includes an integrated Sonos audio system feeding the kitchen, sitting room, and the terrace and pool areas. This is controllable remotely, as are the heating and alarm systems.

      On the outside, the house sits within a plot of just over 4 acres and adjoins open farmland.

      Adjacent to the house is the terrace and swimming pool, with a pool house and decked seating areas. There is a tennis court to the side of the parkland-style gardens.

      A gated, private driveway passes the side of the house providing parking for numerous vehicles in front of the detached double bay cart lodge with garden store at the rear.

      Above this, planning permission has been implemented for an annex, but this is currently used a studio / gym. A buyer could finish this to their own tastes as needed.

    Quite frankly, this is one of finest homes I've seen for a while. It is true West End quality finish, yet set in the most sublime of settings. The open plan garden room flows onto the magnificent terrace and pool area - from which you can enjoy a gin and tonic whilst watching the sunset over the fields. What more could you want!?
