A handsome village house with sublime gardens and secondary accommodation
Farm Piece is a handsome village property set in over half-an-acre of mature landscaped gardens in the village Conservation Area. The property offers traditional accommodation set out over two floors. It is believed that part of the property dates from the 17th century and indeed there are substantial beams and timber doors throughout.
From the village lane you drive through a pair of substantial electronic timber gates into a large gravelled courtyard area where on one side you will find a former Granary converted into a double garage on the ground floor, together with an entrance to the studio flat situated above which comprises a shower room and kitchenette on the ground floor and large studio with separate storage room on the first floor with access via an internal staircase. The first floor studio is particularly attractive as it is fully beamed and vaulted with a Juliet balcony at the far end with views over the gardens. This could obviously be used as ancillary accommodation.
The property is accessed via a large porch and glazed front door into the hall. To the left is a charming dual aspect sitting room with wood burning stove, a good sized office and cloakroom. To the right is the kitchen which is very much the heart of the home being well fitted with an excellent range of cabinets, a substantial island unit and an AGA. A door leads to the formal dining room which is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. Adjacent to the dining room is a second kitchen and second sitting room.
Two staircases lead to the first floor where there are five excellent bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and a generous range of fitted wardrobes. The entire first floor is accessible from one end to the other whilst at the same time a great feature of this property is the opportunity to divide the living accommodation into two units simply by locking two doors.
The gardens lie to three sides of the property and are immaculately maintained with areas of mature lawn and well-stocked borders inviting you in to enjoy. An attractive greenhouse is located next to the garage. The current owners have recently acquired a further parcel of garden and are creating a wonderful tranquil retreat complete with a walled kitchen garden and calming water feature.
