A Substantial Grade II Listed Farm House With Acreage

 

Located in a rural position along with only a few other similar properties, this spacious farm house dates from the sixteenth century and retains many original features. The property affords three second floor bedrooms, one first floor bedroom and a luxury bathroom and a fifth bedroom/hobby room off the ground floor. There is a Georgian style entrance hall with further hallways off leading to the large sitting room and drawing room to the front, morning room and ‘Amdega’ conservatory with sitting and dining areas, farmhouse style kitchen, utility room, recently fitted wet room with WC, large cellar and a former dairy. Outside a long driveway leads to a parking and turning area to the side of the house where there is a small timber framed barn. Mature gardens surround the property and include a large pond and an above ground swimming pool. There is paddock land and substantial woodland.

GARDENS

A feature of this period property are the well maintained formal gardens which are to the front, side and rear and are mainly laid to lawn interspersed with flower and shrub beds, with mature trees and hedgerows enclosing the gardens. To one corner is an additional lawned area with timber decking having a gazebo and small orchard. A natural pond surrounded by mature trees having a miniature jetty provides a focal point and adjoining the formal gardens is an additional post and rail small paddock which in the agent’s opinion could be ideal for the installation of a manege. There is a raised heated swimming pool (21’ x 12’ x 4’) with timber decking concealing the pump, filtration system and the boiler. Off the driveway are two timber sheds and a greenhouse

 

LAND & PADDOCKS

To the front of the house and right hand side of the driveway is a post and rail paddock. To the rear beyond the gardens is circa a 4.5 acre paddock which is of historical interest and borders the woodland which is approximately 12.5 acres. In all, just over 18 acres, subject to a measured survey.
