About this property

  • This charming Grade II listed farmhouse enjoys a private setting and stunning countryside views at the end of a no-through road on the edge of this small hamlet. Thought to date back to the 17th Century the house offers an abundance of period features including flagstone and oak floors, fireplaces and exposed beams. With the main house spread over three floors, as well as the two bedroom cottage and studio annex there is ample accommodation for family living and entertaining.

    The ground floor comprises entrance hall, a wonderful farmhouse style kitchen / dining room with electric Aga, American style fridge freezer, electric oven, island with gas hob fed from bottles and plenty of storage. The corner aspect room is flooded with natural light with floor to ceiling glass windows and two sets of French doors opening to a terrace. There is an impressive reception room with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and stone surround fireplace with wood burning stove. There is a further sitting room, accessed from both the hall and kitchen, with wood burning stove and two sets of French doors to the garden. Further rooms include the middle hall that could be a useful library or dining area, a home office / play room, a large utility room with side access and a guest cloakroom. The first floor comprises the principal bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with free standing claw foot bath and separate walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms share a bathroom. The top floor has two attic style bedrooms with a shower room and separate cloakroom.

    The separate cottage, with wooden floors across two floors, comprises entrance hall, kitchen / dining room with French doors opening to a private terrace overlooking surrounding fields. There is a ground floor single bedroom / home office and shower room. The first floor comprises sitting room with large picture window providing stunning views and a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. The studio annex is over two floors with the ground floor including a shower and separate cloakroom.

    The extensive and maintained landscaped gardens, approx. 3.75 acres, were designed by award winning Dan Pearson and include formal gardens, lawns, flower/shrub beds, mature hedges and trees, a wildflower meadow, an orchard, woodland and a large pond. There is a vegetable patch tenants may take over if they wish and a barn which would make an ideal space for summer garden parties.

    The property is surrounded by glorious countryside and there are numerous walking and riding routes. There is plenty of parking on the gravel drive in front of the house as well as a large single garage that houses the oil tank. There is a paddock, two stables and tack room that can be available if needed.

    The gardener uses part of the barn and one of the stables (one of three) for storage of tools/equipment. Should tenants want the house unfurnished the landlord will retain the studio annex for their own storage and it will be excluded from the tenancy. Please note the studio does not have any heating.

    Please note there is a separate council tax band payable for the barn which is band D.
