Location
Pretty country house in a rural but accessible location.
Greenden Farmhouse is an attractive country property, which as the name suggests, was originally a farmhouse on the local estate, and is believed to date from the mid 1700s. It faces south over its own pretty garden. The house was extended in the 1980s and again in 2000, with the addition of an integral garage and utility room. It was acquired by the sellers in 1996, and it has been used both as a family home and as part of a holiday letting business. As such it offers considerable flexibility and the extension could have potential for an annexe subject to any necessary consents. It is a pretty stone built house with a slate roof, and has benefited from considerable improvements. When the garage was added in 2000 there were replumbing and rewiring works, the kitchen was upgraded and many of the windows were refurbished with double glazing units. More recently the shower room and en suite were refurbished in 2023. As such it is a fine family country house. It forms part of a small group of three properties, along with the Steading and Angler's Bothy, also owned by the seller.
A covered front entrance from the garden leads into a welcoming hallway with a wooden floor, understairs cupboard and linking to a rear entrance lobby with a stone tiled floor. To one side is a well proportioned double aspect sitting room which has a wooden floor, window shutters and a fireplace with marble mantel and wood burning stove. On the other side is an impressive dining kitchen. The dining area has wooden flooring and window shutters and links through to a snug with a fireplace, wooden flooring and French doors to the garden. The fitted kitchen has wooden units, a Beko dishwasher, sink, Kenwood range cooker and a tiled floor. Off this is a boot room, again with tiled floor, together with a wood burning stove and a further back door. French doors open to a sheltered paved courtyard. A WC has a washbasin, while a utility room has fitted units with a Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a tiled floor.
A corridor from the hallway leads to a shower room with washbasin and WC, and to bedrooms 1 and 2. Upstairs is the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite with freestanding bath, shower, washbasin and WC. Bedroom 4 also has fitted wardrobes and a fireplace, while a bathroom has a washbasin and WC.
The integral garage has water and power, together with a Grant oil fired boiler, and an attic ladder up to a useful floored loft.
A stone paved terrace, which links the house to the front garden, is a wonderful and sheltered place to sit. The front garden is enclosed by hedges and fencing and is mainly down to lawn with flower and shrub borders. To the side is a wooden shed/dog kennel and run. Behind the house is a gravelled parking area.
