An immaculately presented farmhouse with versatile outbuildings, situated within about 28.6 acres of land including a pond and tennis court, in a beautiful rural position.
Lower Barnes Farm is a handsome period house with brick elevations beneath a Welsh slate roof. It is a beautifully presented house having undergone a significant scheme of tasteful modernisation in recent years, the result is a wonderful family home combining high quality design, fixtures and fittings with the character of a traditional dwelling.
The front door opens into a large reception hall with a study area, which links the elegant sitting room, with a vaulted ceiling and central fireplace, with the superb open plan family kitchen encapsulating a cosy seating area, an oak framed dining wing and the cooking area with an excellent range of bespoke fitted kitchen units, integrated appliances and a four-oven electric Aga. An inner hall serves an excellent fully fitted wine room, a snug and stairs lead from it to the first floor where there is an impressive principal bedroom suite, two further bedrooms with en suites, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The ground floor benefits from oak and natural stone flooring throughout.
The house sits comfortably within its grounds and is approached via electric gates leading onto a gravel drive, with extensive parking. A recently constructed tennis court stands at the rear, as does a range of former farm buildings creating a courtyard at the back of the house. These buildings offer great potential for a variety of uses ancillary to the house, including the creating of an annexe, stabling and garaging.
At the kitchen side of the house, accessed through the oak French windows is a large stone terrace making a perfect place for dining and relaxing in the sunshine. The extensive grounds are mainly laid to lawn and link to a breeze house which offers a perfect place from which to admire the setting sun beside a most attractive pond.
The property includes several adjoining fields which for many years have been cropped and managed by a neighbouring farmer. The property offers excellent equestrian and hobby farming opportunities.
Overall Lower Barnes Farm is a hugely impressive and well-balanced family home in an excellent rural position.

I love the rural position of this wonderful family home and the outstanding views, while only being a stones throw from the charming village of Malpas.
