About this property
Temple Farm is an unlisted farmhouse with mid-16th century origins and a later Edwardian extension. The house offers considerable potential and is an exciting opportunity for the next owners to put their own stamp on it.
The property has a wonderful feel due to a combination of some large, light reception rooms with high ceilings and period features. There are also some more intimate rooms for those cozy winter evenings. The classic features such as high ceilings and sash windows all add to the charm of this delightful family home. All principal reception rooms have large sash windows and most have double aspects overlooking the gardens and giving lots of light to the rooms.
The comfortable, welcoming, farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room with wooden wall and base units and co-ordinating solid wooden worktops providing good storage and preparation space, with plenty of room for a family-sized dining table. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate utility/boot room with direct access to the garden, a separate dining room can also be found to the front of the property.
To the rear, our clients' sitting room benefits from a statement Inglenook working fireplace and direct access onto the library with fitted units and a separate WC.

I love the character and charm of Temple Farm, with its quirky mix of a cozy sitting room featuring notable wooden beams alongside its elegantly proportioned Edwardian style and frontage. For me, this presents a unique opportunity to rejuvenate this family home.
