Salters Lane, Ludgershall, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18

Welcome to Home Farm, Ludgershall. Originally the largest working farm in the village with it's earliest parts dating back to the 15th Century.

This substantial Grade II listed farmhouse offers both historical living along with modern amenities including zoned underfloor heating and vastly improved efficiency due to substantial amounts of additional insulation on all outside walls and the roof space. There is also an 18kw Heliotherm air source heat pump, which provides both central heating and domestic hot water. The windows have also been replaced with double glazing sympathtic to the age of the property

The Farmhouse is only part of this wonderful overall property. There is a converted brick built barn which is now a two bedroom self contained cottage annex with private courtyard garden and EV charger. In addition there are stables with 29 solar panels with the Tesla battery and control system located in the Tack Room. These generate up to 15kw of power and keep the electricity useage in the property to a minimum.

There is a six car garage plus numerous further outbuildings and a 40 x 20 m equestrian arena.

The ground floor of the farmhouse starts with the spacious Reception Hall which can be utilised as a formal dining area featuring a quarry-tiled floor and an open fireplace. The Old Dairy is a few steps down and this lower level allows an exceptionally high ceiling with wonderful fireplace and woodburning stove. It is utilised by the current owners as a fine dining room and drawing room.

The Reception Hall also leads you onto the Sitting Room with its inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove topped with a large oak lintel. The Study, located at the rear of the property, has a slightly unusual shape due to a priest hole located behind the fireplace which is a wonderful part of the history of the farmhouse.

The deep blue, bespoke Tom Howley units with white worktops sit beautifully against the period features of the room. The blue electric Aga, Quooker hot water tap and an Insinkerator system complete the kitchen. Off the Kitchen is a walk-in Larder and Utility Room as well as a downstairs shower room. The Workshop connects the property directly to the garage.

Each of the four spacious bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom and builtin wardrobes. The principal bedroom is located at the front of the property, featuring a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The en-suite bathroom is large with half-panelled walls and features a bath, shower, WC, and wash hand basin in a vanity unit. The main guest bedroom is also located to the front of the house with a high vaulted ceiling, en-suite bathroom and built in wardrobes.
