A detached four bedroom bungalow in an elevated position with a substantial light industrial barn, over 37 acres and panoramic views.


Description

Having been in the same ownership for over 31 years, North Park Farm occupies a wonderful elevated position with outstanding southerly views over its own land and far beyond. This versatile property with over 37 acres, is centred around a modern four bedroom bungalow constructed in the late 1980's with predominantly south-facing gardens. There is a substantial detached light industrial barn in excess of some 4,700 sq ft with prior approval (now lapsed) for change of use (ref 18/500768/PNPA) to two self contained dwellings.

Internal accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a dual aspect sitting room with great south-facing views and wood burning stove, a well proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with travertine flooring, under floor heating and sliding doors to a wide, wrap around terrace. The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and floor cupboards with work surfaces over. Appliances comprise an electric oven and an integrated dishwasher. A door leads through to the utility room with space for white goods and garden access.

Over the remainder of the ground floor are four bedrooms (one currently used as a study and one as a workroom), a bathroom and an en suite shower room to the main bedroom, which is equipped with fitted cupboards.

Electric double gates give access to the property, with the drive winding up to a parking area to the front of the house. A separate spur leads off to a lower drive, culminating at a substantial forecourt area and the barn beyond. The gardens are principally lawned and gently sloping stocked with various shrubs, flowerbeds, mature trees and a wide south facing paved terrace from where the panoramic views can be enjoyed. The gardens continue to a former kitchen garden and old greenhouse frame, enhanced by a mature grapevine.

Completing the property are the fields which protect the gardens to both sides, there are two fields which down to grass are divided by a belt of indigenous woodland.
