*** VIEW OUR VIDEO TOUR *** A FINE EXAMPLE OF A FORMER VICTORIAN FARMHOUSE WITH ELEGANT AND WELL PROPORTIONED ROOMS HAVING BEEN RESTORED WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND INTERIOR DESIGN.

Ivy Farm has been the subject of a very sympathetic and quality restoration cleverly combing the features of old with the essential modern open plan kitchen family space which form the heart of the house. Attention to detail includes tall corniced ceilings, period style radiators, light fittings and switches, original fireplaces along with modern benefits of zoned underfloor heating and double-glazed sash windows.

A particular feature of the property is the imaginative extension which now provides a 13.5m (39ft) kitchen/dining and family living area with a lantern roof light and bi-folding doors which open to the garden. This also includes a quality kitchen from the renowned company Sebastian Cox by deVol. Highlights include twin copper sinks, brass taps, copper and silestone worktops, a bespoke colour range cooker and an excellent walk-in shelved pantry providing a huge amount of storage. Further living space includes a formal sitting room, study which could be used as a fourth bedroom, cloakroom and a much larger than average and very useful utility room for every day needs.

The accommodation is equally spacious upstairs having three excellent size double bedrooms, the principal bedroom having an ensuite and a spacious family bath and shower room. These echo the flair of the presentation with quality sanitaryware finished in white with heritage fittings and complimentary tiling and panelling.

Outside there is a private gated driveway with parking for five to six cars and an open fronted barn providing covered parking for two further vehicles. A further enclosed and double height barn offers excellent size and secure storage facilities. Finally, the rear garden enjoys open views over countryside and a full width sandstone patio spans the rear of the house which has well-kept lawns and borders.

A VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY ON OFFER AT IVY FARM.

A part-glazed entrance door opens into a spacious hall where a spindled staircase rises to the first floor and a handy intenal porch with coat and shoes storage leads to the parking area. Lying to the left a sitting room has ornate cast iron and tiled inlay fireplace with open grate and dual aspect sash windows to the front and rear.

Beyond the hall a large utility/gym offers versatile space and has a range of cupboards having space for tumble dryer and washing machine along with a butler sink unit, mixer taps and wooden work top. A cloakroom is fitted with period sanitaryware comprising wash basin and wc with panelling to dado height and the adjacent boiler room has a Worcester gas boiler, water tank and ample space for drying purposes.

Completing the ground floor the impressive, combined kitchen/dining and family room are perfect for modern-day living. The kitchen has a range of base units with silestone and copper worktops and includes two deep copper sink units with brass taps, all of which have café pendants lights over. A bespoke coloured electric range with ovens and hob is included in the sale and a sliding door leads to a walk-in and shelved pantry which offers excellent storage and space for fridge freezer and microwave etc.

Both the dining and family living space flow from the kitchen and have double casement doors with side windows opening to the rear garden. The family room is particularly spacious and light having a feature lantern style roof window.
