Introduction - Tump Ash Farm boasts the following: entrance hall, dining room, sitting room, breakfast room, kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, four bedrooms (master with en-suite), family bathroom, loft access. Further benefits include: timber framed garage with carport, Dutch Barn, outbuilding with light commercial use, greenhouse, grounds of 1.58 acres, private driveway approach with parking and rural setting.

Property Description - Entry begins through a traditionally crafted Border Oak porch that handsomely frames a solid oak front door. Once inside, this gorgeous home delights from the outset. The inner hallway is of a generous size. Its oak flooring, built in cupboard, oak detailing and room for a pleasant display of decorative furniture makes it a welcoming space for not only hanging coats and storing outdoor footwear but simply sitting on a decorative bench to pause for a moment. To the right is an impressive, formal dining room that would impress even the most sophisticated of diners. There is a vast display of timber framing and perlins on show with peg detailing, oak window frames and a wood-burner sat on a stone hearth. Being of square proportion the room affords many an opportunity to show off a selection of dressers and side boards. To the left of the entrance hall is another reception room of square proportion currently set up as a welcoming sitting room and boasting: centre piece wood-burner sat on a stone hearth, dual aspect and the oak window frames and timber framing as echoed throughout the home. There is a staircase here for access to a landing area with door leading to a first floor room currently set up as part home office, part guest bedroom. There is a storage room next door equipped with shelving.

The remaining reception rooms are accessed from the inner entrance hallway to include a breakfast room, kitchen, utility and cloakroom. The breakfast room would lend itself to becoming a hobby room, study or TV room if otherwise desired but makes a truly lovely breakfast room with room for decorative dresser furniture and doors out onto the private garden with bistro set nearby. The sling brace on show here is a really lovely detail and highlights the true quality of the craftsmanship evident throughout this home. The kitchen runs perpendicular to the breakfast room and is a more recent Border Oak extension creating the quintessential country kitchen. The delights of this kitchen are plentiful:
A large five paneled oak framed window sits above the sink and overlooks rows of fruit trees and bountious cottage style planting within the private grounds
An AGA (Electric X series 'e-control' with separate controls for hotplates and oven) with oak shelf and lighting above,
American fridge/freezer,
Tall pantry cupboards,
Granite worktop,
Central island with socket tower and a generous selection of drawers and cupboards,
Slate tiled flooring and room again for a large dresser to show off collections of country crockery.
Again, the sling braces as found next door and here would excite any timber enthusiast.
The utility room is again off the inner entrance hallway and well positioned next to a back door entrance that is ideal for coming in from working in the garden or muddy walks with the dogs. There is housing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a sink with ample work top space for those additional appliances and an array of wall and floor units for storage. This is the ideal space to hideaway a multitude of utility tools and outdoor clothes, boots and cleaning equipment. There is a handy cloakroom with WC and hand basin accessed from this utility room also.

The remainder of the first floor is accessed from the oak staircase in the inner entrance hallway and leads to three double bedrooms (master with en-suite), loft access and a family bathroom. The landing is well lit by a velux roof light. The master bedroom has exposed gables and perlins and a lovely view of the glorious countryside beyond. It is dual aspect and benefits from having its own en-suite. The en-suite is tastefully styled with modern shower, WC and contemporary hand basin on a glass plinth. Bedroom two is a good sized double with room for an array of bedroom furniture and views of hills beyond. Bedroom three is also a double with oak flooring, exposed timber framework, in-built fitted cupboards and countryside views from the window. The family bathroom is styled in a similar way to the en-suite. There is a walk in shower, contemporary oval bath, WC and hand basin on a glass plinth.
