Description

An outstanding example of a traditional character red brick farmhouse constructed circa 1839, which has been lovingly and sympathetically renovated and restored to the highest of standards. This property really does demand to be viewed to appreciate the wonderful lifestyle opportunity it has to offer. There is immaculately presented accommodation within the main farmhouse, which is set out over two floors and has a great deal of charm and character, plus several outbuildings which offer extremely versatile and flexible usage. Gables Farm sits at the heart of this highly regarded and thriving village with fabulous views overlooking the church.

The main house has perfectly arranged accommodation centred by a welcoming entrance hallway with decorative stained glass and leaded front door, an appealing and flowing layout with four principal reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with utility/boot room and a ground floor WC. The first floor gives way to four double bedrooms, separate WC and two separate bathrooms.

There are double electrically operated gates leading to a driveway and giving access to a double garage with extensive off road parking and an impressive range of outbuildings within the south-facing garden offering further scope and flexibility.

The current owners have enjoyed many years in this family home and have sympathetically blended contemporary everyday convenience with the character of this architecturally impressive building. The property has gas central heating and high quality replacement double glazed sash sliding windows. The utmost attention has been paid to every conceivable detail within the property and an internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate.
