Property description
We're lucky enough to market many gorgeous country homes but sometimes you do come across one that just steals your own heart! There'll be a pang of jealousy when the keys are handed over to the new owner, that's for sure! Rook Hall Farm is in a fantastic location for commuter links yet set back in a plot of approximately 6.5 acres, accessed via a long driveway up to the detached three bedroom residence. The property's grounds include a large rear garden with woodland to the rear, a range of separate paddocks with a selection of shelters and a combination of post and rail fencing and purpose fitted chicken wire fencing. Available by separate negotiation are barns that are situated to the right of the main house and have planning permission to be converted into residential dwellings, with an adjoining annexe. There is also additional acreage available should that be of interest. These separate paddocks and buildings are available as separate entities as well should someone be interested in them and not the property itself. The current owners have created a fantastic small holding and it is set up, ready to be taken on by someone new! The house interior has been refurbished to an excellent standard and has features such as a quality fitted kitchen with integrated Miele appliances and a white coloured Aga; the kitchen opening to the glass constructed garden room. A dual aspect lounge, study, open plan hall/snug, cloakroom, pantry, utility room and guest WC complete the spacious ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are three bedrooms and family bathroom with a separate WC however... to bring the upstairs in line with the space downstairs, the property is for sale with detailed planning permission for an extension to create an imposing family home with additional bedrooms and bathrooms. Already an impressive and beautiful property, yet with potential to improve even further, this is an exciting addition to the James Du Pavey family!
