Also, easy access to the M40 (J11).

The Accommodation
Millstream Farmhouse is located on a no through lane in the heart of this popular village. It offers flexible light accommodation having been updated and improved by the current owner. Constructed of local ironstone, the property offers the potential to create a self-contained annexe for possible income generation or dependent/guest accommodation.

The property is accessed via a five-bar gate to a wide courtyard area situated in the angle of the property with parking for three cars. The front door opens to a hall with coat hanging area and a door to a good-sized cloakroom with space for washing and dryer machines.
The drawing room is double aspect with French doors opening to an outside entertaining terrace. To one end is an attractive Chesney fireplace which houses a cast iron Jotul woodburner, with extensive book and display shelving on the entire opposite wall.

The kitchen/breakfast room has extensive painted wall and floor cupboards with a Rangemaster range, a larder cupboard, boiler cupboard and a useful good-sized walk-in wine store. The dining room has a door opening to the garden and a window seat to the front. The sitting room has a good-sized inglenook which houses another Jotul log burner, the door to the front of the house and a useful walk-in L shaped cupboard. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms (one with extensive fitted cupboards and one with an en suite), a shower room and an option to access the possible annexe.

The potential self-contained annexe is very well presented and well thought out with a large living room/dining room with kitchen facilities to one side. Stairs rise to a light good-sized bedroom (currently part of the main house) with a patterned tiled bathroom (with shower above), cupboards and double door access back to the main house.

Outside
The gardens at Millstream Farm are a very special feature of the property being private and principally laid to lawn, surrounded by herbaceous and shrub borders. There are a couple of eating terraces, a shed and raised sleeper vegetable beds. There is potential and space (subject to planning permission) to build a garage with access off the main lane.
