Living Areas - The reception rooms within this Georgian-style farmhouse are beautifully proportioned, designed to balance elegance with comfort. The south-facing living room is a light-filled and inviting space, enhanced by high ceilings, decorative cornicing, and period-style picture rails. A wood burner provides a focal point, while double doors open directly onto a sunny terrace and private garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. From here, panelled doors lead through to the dining room, a more formal yet equally welcoming space, complete with an open fireplace and further doors to the rear garden, making it ideal for entertaining. A separate family room offers additional versatile living space, perfectly suited as a snug, playroom, or informal lounge. Together, these reception areas create a home that is both stylish and functional, with character details and modern conveniences thoughtfully integrated throughout.

Kitchen - At the heart of the home, the kitchen combines practicality with a sociable layout, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. A central island provides a natural gathering point, while a range cooker with induction hob offers both style and functionality for keen cooks. The room is thoughtfully designed to connect seamlessly with the dining room, allowing for an easy flow between informal family meals and more formal occasions. Generous proportions and a well-planned layout ensure the kitchen is as efficient as it is welcoming, making it a true centrepiece of the farmhouse.

Bedrooms - The first floor of the farmhouse offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, each designed to provide comfort and privacy. Four of the rooms benefit from en-suite facilities, ensuring convenience for family members and guests alike. The principal bedroom is an impressive suite, featuring a spacious dressing room and en-suite bathroom, creating a private retreat within the home. The remaining bedrooms are equally appealing, offering generous proportions, plenty of natural light, and character features in keeping with the Georgian style. Together, these rooms combine to deliver both practicality and elegance, with the flexibility to be used as guest rooms, children’s bedrooms, or even a home office if desired.

Bathrooms And Ensuites - The property is well appointed with a range of bathrooms and shower rooms, designed to combine practicality with comfort. On the ground floor, a conveniently placed shower room sits off the side hallway, providing easy access for day-to-day use. Upstairs, four of the five bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite facilities, ensuring privacy and convenience for family members and guests. The principal bedroom’s en-suite is complemented by a spacious dressing room, creating a luxurious private retreat, while the additional en-suites offer modern fittings and generous space, making every bedroom feel self-contained and thoughtfully designed.

Outside, Outbuildings And Paddocks - The grounds surrounding the property are as impressive as the house itself, extending to around 13 acres (STS) and offering a perfect balance of landscaped gardens, leisure amenities, and equestrian facilities. A sweeping private driveway leads past a front paddock and a collection of farm buildings before curving around a central lawn, beautifully anchored by a mature oak tree. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with established trees, creating an attractive and peaceful setting. To the south of the house, a sunken terrace bordered by a low wall provides a sheltered spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, enhanced by decorative fish ponds and complemented by a charming summer house. To the north, a detached building houses a swimming pool, with a versatile room above that could serve as a gym, studio, or entertaining space. For equestrian enthusiasts, the property includes extensive facilities: a substantial 7,500 sq. ft. farm building with ten stables, lighting, and water supply, alongside multiple paddocks and a secure all-weather manège within a main paddock area of about 7.9 acres, enclosed by post-and-rail fencing. Together, these outside spaces create an idyllic setting, blending beauty and functionality for both leisure and country living.

Business Opportunities - The property offers excellent business potential with a range of versatile outbuildings and facilities. A substantial farm building, covering approximately 7,500 sq. ft., provides ample space for storage, agricultural use, or commercial operations, and includes ten stables with lighting and water supply, ideal for equestrian enterprises. In addition, the property benefits from a farm shop, presenting an opportunity for retail or local produce sales.
