A walk-in pantry and large adjoining utility room provide additional functionality, making the space ideal for preparing homegrown produce or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee.

Two beautifully presented reception rooms offer distinct spaces for entertaining and unwinding. The sitting room is bathed in soft natural light and provides an air of calm sophistication, while the dining room offers a warm and welcoming setting for family meals or special occasions.

The ground floor cloakroom and shower room enhance day-to-day comfort and practicality.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a spacious, restful retreat with lovely views across the grounds. Two further double bedrooms maintain the home’s characterful feel, while a well-appointed family bathroom blends modern fittings with traditional style.

Outside, Grove Farmhouse truly comes into its own. The immediate gardens feature sweeping lawns, mature planting, and thoughtfully positioned seating areas—perfect for outdoor dining, summer entertaining, or simply enjoying the surrounding peace and birdlife.

Beyond the formal gardens lie approximately nine acres of land, carefully laid out to maximise both beauty and functionality. Three securely fenced paddocks bordered by mature hedging are ideal for equestrian use, hobby farming, or other rural pursuits. A private spinney adds natural charm, biodiversity, and seasonal colour, creating a secluded wildlife haven and a space for peaceful exploration.

Two substantial barns offer huge potential, perfect for workshops, creative studios, or storage, with the possibility of future conversion (subject to the necessary permissions). Additional outbuildings, a delightful summerhouse, and an external shower room offer even more flexibility for homeworking, artistic projects, or lifestyle ventures.
