Superbly presented farmhouse in a quiet setting.

Description

White House Farm is a remarkable country home, its origins believed to date back to the 15th Century with sympathetic additions from the 17th and 18th Centuries. Constructed with a traditional timber frame, rendered elevations, and topped with handsome peg-tiled and pantiled roofs, the property holds the esteemed Grade II listing for its special architectural and historical significance. Inside, the house is rich with period character, showcasing an array of original features such as exposed timbers, carved doors, parquet flooring, and open fireplaces.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners to create a home that combines historic charm with modern comfort. Rooms are light, well-proportioned, and benefit from excellent ceiling heights. The heart of the home is the kitchen, beautifully appointed with shaker-style cabinetry, granite work surfaces, and a four-oven Aga. The space opens seamlessly into the garden with bi-fold doors that lead directly to the terrace, gardens, and pool. Beyond the main building lies a collection of versatile outbuildings, including a dedicated home office, further enhancing the property’s appeal.

White House Farm is approached through a private, gated entrance leading to a wide gravel sweep along the eastern elevation, offering a sense of arrival befitting a house of this calibre. The driveway continues to a double cart lodge and additional parking areas, ensuring ample provisions for residents and guests alike. The landscaped gardens are beautifully arranged, with sweeping lawns interspersed by specimen trees. A modern outside pool also creates the perfect space for enjoying the gardens.

For equestrian or outdoor enthusiasts, the property offers exceptional facilities. A well-maintained stable block—recently refurbished and re-roofed—provides two stables and a combined tack room. The stable serves a series of fenced and hedged paddocks that extend beyond the gardens, creating a private and picturesque environment for riding or grazing. These grounds are complemented by a thoughtful border of mature trees. In its entirety, White House Farm provides a rare blend of period charm, modern refinement, and country living, set within a tranquil and beautifully maintained landscape.
