Porters Farm, High Street, Marchington, ST14

Residing within the tranquil village of Marchington is Porters Farm, an elegant detached Victorian farmhouse set within an established 0.25 acre garden plot bordering the village cricket club. Presenting potential to extend, this three bedroom former farmhouse dates back to 1896 and retains a wealth of beautifully preserved character throughout, including Minton tiles to the reception hall, original doors and architraves, reconditioned sash windows and traditional fireplaces. The interiors have been thoughtfully refurbished to complement this exceptional Victorian residence, to include a remodelled and refitted kitchen, a remodelled bathroom and landscaping to the courtyard, with planning permission already in place for a single storey extension to add a cloakroom and pantry to the ground floor.

Presently, the interiors comprise central reception hall, stunning open plan dining kitchen and spacious sitting room to the ground floor, with three bedrooms (two doubles) to the first floor serviced by a four piece family bathroom. Outside, a courtyard garden wraps around the farmhouse, having a sunny south-west facing seating area, gravelled terraces and mature foliage providing privacy to all sides. There is pedestrian access into the detached single garage, and a pathway leads to a useful workshop and in turn to a mature orchard, offering plenty of scope to landscape as desired. Porters Farm is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property of this calibre in this most desirable and peaceful village location.

Porters Farm lies in the heart of Marchington, combining the ideals of a peaceful village location and picturesque surrounding countryside alongside convenient access to local amenities and commuter links.
