The Property
Walking up the charming garden path brings one to the front of this impressive property and leads up to the front door and into the entrance porch. Pushing open a further door brings one into the hallway with exposed brick and beams providing charming features and attest the age and history of this wonderful farmhouse. Leading off to the left is the first of the spacious reception rooms with a large inglenook fireplace drawing ones eye and offers an inviting focal point; whilst the dual aspect floods the room with natural light. A rear hall which leads out to the garden also leads off to the bathroom with roll top bath, wc, pedestal sink, fitted cupboard and a charming leaded glass feature window. The sitting room opens to the generous kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with oak units, as well as having space for appliances, pamment tiles underfoot, exposed beams, access into the cellar, and a Rayburn set into the brick fireplace. A second reception room mirrors the sitting room and enjoys a dual aspect, wood-burning stove, exposed beams and a fitted cupboard. French doors lead from here into a vaulted sun-room which would serve for a number of uses although it does have plumbing for a washing machine as well as a sink. Climbing the staircase brings one to the landing which leads off to all three of the bedrooms as well as leading up to the generous attic room with a window overlooking the garden. The first bedroom leads off to the right and is flooded with natural light which compliments the vaulted ceilings, neutral décor, and exposed beams and brickwork. A second double bedroom is found to the front of the property and thus enjoys views into the pretty front gardens as well as across to the swimming pool. This bedroom is fitted with an ornate leaded window and a en-suite toilet with hand basin. The final bedroom is found at the far end of the landing, past a large open fireplace and would make a wonderful master room. The full height vaulted ceilings are lined with original beams and two windows enjoy views into the rear garden and towards the brick outbuildings.
Outside
Pushing past a wooden gate brings one into the idyllic cottage-style front garden with a garden path meandering through the array of mature shrubs to bring one to the front of the property. The front garden is fully enclosed with a neighbouring brick wall and fencing encompassing the large grassed area with an abundance of shrubs found in various flowerbeds. Leading round to the side of the property brings one to the raised swimming pool, which is encircled by paving stones, and a timber shed currently provides storage for pool equipment and doubles as a sauna. The rear garden is currently laid to lawn with a pair of large wooden gates giving access for vehicles with off-road parking leading up to the double bay cart lodge with adjoining wood shed. Running along the far boundary is a large brick and pan tile outbuilding, which provides scope for conversion to suit a number of purposes subject to the necessary planning consents. Completing this enchanting property is circular brick well which is tucked just behind the property and provides a charming insight to the propertys history and is still currently used.
