Property description
The property has been elegantly updated and extended and is now a fine example of a tastefully finished, modern farmhouse complemented by spacious well designed accommodation that cleverly blends the old with the new.
As you enter this beautifully presented property you will be pleasantly surprised by the open free flowing, spacious layout this contemporary farmhouse has to offer.
The heart of this family home is the central open aspect kitchen diner that smoothly extends into the sitting room, conservatory and living room. The kitchen has a modern cottage style design that is extremely well equipped with plenty of storage, solid wood worktops and space to accommodate a large dining table. The centrally heated conservatory/day lounge feels like part of the main living space, being partially open to the kitchen and currently used as an adult snug room all year round. A recent extension now incorporates an entrance lobby, utility/cloakroom and additional sitting room with double doors leading out to the garden. The living room contains period features and a large inglenook fireplace housing a multi fuel burner giving the room a sense of cosiness on those long winter nights.
A feature landing flooded with natural light from a large window and a gallery section overlooks the entrance lobby below. The master bedroom is a delightful adult retreat complimented by a well-equipped en-suite with separate bath and shower. The first floor also boasts 3 additional bedrooms and large family bathroom featuring a modern period style suite with clawfoot bath and separate shower.
This much-loved property has high ceilings throughout both floors, Travertine tiled flooring in the kitchen, bathroom, en-suite and cloakroom. The kitchen has a Belfast sink and large feature portrait wall mounted radiator, all of the internal pine doors have been stripped, there are built-in wardrobes in bedrooms 1,3 and 4. The property also has UPVC double glazing and oil central heating.
A great deal of care and attention was taken during the renovations and extension to respect and restore as much of the building’s original character whilst bringing the property into the 21st century.
Set a short distance from the property is a paddock enclosed with post and rail fencing encompassing a parcel of land which measures approximately 2 ½ acres, with 4 large block and timber cladded stables, a tack room, large versatile purpose built workshop/office/studio space and plenty of parking.
The studio has B1 sewing workroom usage and is currently used to run a successful interior design business (Current business will not be affected during / post sale) , however subject to planning and touch of imagination this could become a unique holiday letting unit or annexe to the main property.
These renovations and improvements have created a stunning, practical home that really must be seen to appreciate the layout, finish and the amount of accommodation on offer which is much more that it’s exterior suggests.
