Charming Grade II listed farmhouse nestled in the Hughenden Valley with beautiful gardens and outbuildings.
Nestled in the Hughenden Valley is this charming Grade II listed former farmhouse. The original part of the house dates from the late 18th century and its symmetrical façade is typical of the era. The current owners have expertly extended the property and now offers accommodation extending to over 3,600 feet including garaging and outbuildings. The house is brimming with character features including exposed beams, quarry tiles and oak flooring, period fireplaces and exposed brickwork.
The property is wonderfully presented with characterful accommodation throughout, arranged over four floors. Overlooking the front gardens both the sitting and dining rooms feature open fireplaces, with log burning stoves. Of particular note is the beautiful inglenook fireplace in the dining room. The family room enjoys French doors on to the terrace and garden while Velux skylights maximise the natural light into the room. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, with a well equipped kitchen and with plenty of room for a breakfast table. The kitchen itself benefits from a comprehensive range of Shaker style units complemented by integrated appliances including a Lacanche dual fuel range cooker. Just off the kitchen, an original ledge and brace door leads to an inner hall with access to a guest cloakroom and a fully fitted utility room.
The lower ground floor offers additional living space with two distinct areas incorporating a media room with built-in cabinetry and an adjacent study, perfect for home working.
On the first floor are four characterful bedrooms all enjoying garden and distant countryside views and two with attractive period fireplaces. With a vaulted ceiling showcasing the exposed A frames, the principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and benefits from a built-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. In addition on this floor is a family bathroom. On the top floor is a further bedroom served by an adjacent bathroom giving access to eaves storage.
Lower Warren Farmhouse enjoys a picturesque setting, with attractive front and rear gardens framing the property. The front garden is lawned with a central path to the front door while gated access to the side leads to the rear garden. With expansive areas of lawn, interspersed with mature trees, the rear garden is a delight and enjoys far reaching views. Mature hedging provides privacy while a terrace area spans the width of the house giving the ideal spot for relaxation and outside entertaining. A driveway affords ample parking and leads to a double garage.
Outbuildings
Adjoining the garage are two delightful outbuildings comprising two separate rooms, both with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, offering flexibility and ideal space for home offices, treatment rooms or studios.
