Ivy House, Sprinkle Farm, The Street, Swingfield — Period Cottage (c.1806) with Wrap-around Gardens & Detached Garage

Ivy House, a truly charming period cottage dating from circa 1806 has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a comfortable and versatile family home. Set back behind a private driveway with a double garage, the property enjoys well-established gardens that wrap around the sides and rear — a peaceful, sheltered setting that feels a world away from the everyday.

The accommodation is arranged over two levels and offers a delightful mix of period character and practical living space. A welcoming open-plan sitting room and sung with fireplaces forms the heart of the house and flows to a central hallway. From here you step into a large, country-style kitchen with a breakfast area — a great space for family life and entertaining — alongside a guest shower room and a handy study/ground-floor room which currently provides flexible use for visitors or home working.

To the very rear the current owners have installed a stunning family/garden room overlooking the beautiful rear gardens. On the first floor the principal bedroom benefits from an En-Suite bathroom and lovely outlooks across the gardens, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the wrap-around gardens provide a series of private seating areas, lawn and mature planting with a greenhouse and vegetable plots, creating a tranquil space to relax or entertain. The double garage has been designed to facilitate further development of a master bedroom suite in the roof space, subject to normal planning permission. The driveway offer excellent parking — a valuable asset in this village location.

Ivy House offers a rare opportunity to own a handsome period home with character, generous gardens and comfortable living space — a property with true lifestyle appeal. Viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate the scale, setting and charm on offer.
