Description

Property Description: Guide Price £750,000 - £775,000. Set within the serene Gibbons Brook, this charming and unique Grade II listed farmhouse is one of just three properties in this idyllic rural setting and provides a blend of historic character and comfortable family living, all set within approximately 1.47 acres of established grounds.

Stepping inside, you are immediately enveloped by the property's rich history and original features with half of the house being built in the 14th Century and the other half built in the 17th Century. Exposed beams adorn many of the rooms, providing character that speaks to the farmhouse's heritage. A truly distinctive feature is the well, which supplies free water to the property, providing both an eco-friendly benefit and a charming nod to its past. The current owners have also installed a brand new water tank and filtration system.

The heart of this home is undoubtedly the impressive 32 ft x 16 ft living/dining room. This expansive space is perfect for both grand entertaining and cosy family evenings, centred around a magnificent Inglenook fireplace housing a log burner. Adjacent to this, a spacious country style kitchen/breakfast room provides ample space for culinary creativity with a traditional aesthetic that complements the farmhouse feel. Further ground floor accommodation includes an additional sitting room, providing a more intimate space for relaxation, and a delightful sun room, perfect for enjoying the garden views throughout the seasons.

On the first floor, you will find four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each offering comfort and privacy. A dedicated study provides an ideal space for remote working or quiet contemplation and could also be used as a fifth bedroom if required. The property has three well appointed bathrooms, two of the double bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The layout is thoughtfully designed to accommodate a large family or guests with ease.

Adding to the property's potential, a sizeable loft space presents an exciting opportunity for future expansion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions

Outside: The exterior of this farmhouse is equally captivating. A large and established south-facing garden is a true highlight, featuring a spacious terrace perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, a sprawling lawn ideal for children's play or leisurely afternoons, and a separate field to the rear, culminating in approximately 1.47 acres of private outdoor space.
