Description

This property comes to the market for the first time in almost 50 years, the current owners having purchased it in 1975 as a renovation project when it was sold off as part of a larger dairy farm. During their tenure, the owners have extended the original farmhouse and undertaken extensive refurbishment throughout the property to create a most wonderful light filled five bedroom family home that is beautifully maintained and offers great versatility.

The original farmhouse dates back to the 1960's with the current owners having significantly extended the property in the late 1970's. It provides generously proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors extending to about 2,269 sq ft with quality double glazing throughout. The principal rooms all enjoy wonderful far reaching rural views.

Internally, the accommodation includes a double aspect dining room to the front. The sizeable kitchen/breakfast room has a lovely aspect to the rear and has a range of fitted units with integrated appliances. The spacious sitting room enjoys the same lovely outlook and has a marble fireplace and patio doors leading out onto the rear terrace with steps down to the garden. There is also a side entrance door leading onto a large terrace.

On the first floor is a fabulous principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms plus a single bedroom (currently used as a study) and a family bathroom. On the second floor is the fifth bedroom (another double), partly set into the eaves with eaves storage cupboards, and access to the fully boarded loft.

Outside, the property is approached off a quiet rural lane with two separate vehicular entrances leading into expansive concrete courtyards adjoining the farmhouse and buildings, providing parking and turning areas. A gated pedestrian entrance leads through mature trees and hedging which provide screening from the lane. There is a large paved terrace providing a wonderful sitting and entertaining area. The rear gardens have been attractively landscaped, mainly laid to lawn with specimen shrubs and trees and box hedging. A wooden field gate at the bottom of the garden leads on to a large fence enclosed vegetable garden served by a greenhouse.

In addition to the gardens, the land comprises 14.6 acres of pasture land and 3.5 acres of woodland. In all about 19.12 acres.

There is an impressive range of outbuildings (all lockable and secure) totalling approximately 5,218 sq ft of covered space including a stable complex with part converted into an office, old dairy and modern farm barns that offer excellent storage and workshop facilities that have previously supported an engineering business, all holding significant potential for alternative use and development (subject to all necessary consents).

Agents Note: There is a public footpath through the woodland and pasture traversing the property north to south but well away from the farmhouse and buildings.
