Description

Stanbarrow Farmhouse is a delightful period house which is believed to date from the early 19th Century. It is constructed with attractive brick and rendered elevations under a slate roof. The house has been within the same family for the last 30 years and offers well proportioned accommodation of great charm, although it would benefit from some updating. There are fine fireplaces in the drawing room, dining room and one of the bedrooms, lovely sash windows to the front elevation and some coved ceilings. There are a good range of built-in wardrobes and bookcases and the house has oil fired central heating. There is a pretty walled garden to the side of the farmhouse together with a secluded partly walled South facing rear garden.

Accommodation

Please see floor plans.

Outside
A shared access at the side of the house leads to a single garage with up and over door with a parking space in front and to the side. Behind the house is a gravelled area which leads to the rear garden. This is laid to lawn and a high beech hedge forms one boundary with a brick wall on the other two sides providing a good measure of seclusion. Within the rear garden are some flower beds, trees and shrubs. Concealed oil storage tank. Immediately to the rear of the kitchen is a delightfully secluded South facing brick paved terrace with fine views across the garden. A gate near this terrace opens onto the walled side garden (which can also be approached from the kitchen/breakfast room) which is laid to lawn with some flower beds and trees.
