An exquisite blend of character and modern comforts...

A Refined Village Residence

Occupying an elevated position within the heart of Eakring, Old Church Farm is a beautifully evolved family home where period character and modern comfort sit effortlessly side by side. Dating back to the late 1700s and thoughtfully extended over time, it offers generous accommodation, private wraparound gardens and a lifestyle deeply connected to both village life and the surrounding countryside.

A Timeless First Impression

A replica period front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall where original character is immediately evident. Period-style floor tiles bring texture and charm underfoot, while natural light enhances the sense of arrival. From here, the home unfolds into both the original reception rooms and the later extensions beyond.

Fireside Elegance

The main lounge is a refined reception room with high ceilings, dual-aspect windows and beautifully restored timber flooring. A reclaimed fireplace from Hardwick Hall forms a striking focal point, creating a room perfectly suited to relaxed family living and quieter evenings by the fire.

A Quiet Study With Character

Across the hall, the study offers a versatile retreat, equally suited as a home office, reading room or cosy snug. Original floorboards, dual-aspect windows, fitted library shelving and a reclaimed fireplace with log burner combine to create a room rich in character and warmth.

A Room For Every Occasion

Set within the 1930s extension, the dining room enjoys a strong connection to the gardens beyond. Wood flooring, an open fireplace and doors leading onto the raised terrace create a welcoming setting for family meals, entertaining and everyday gatherings.

A Practical Country Entrance

To the rear of the home, a secondary entrance hall provides a practical everyday arrival. Karndean flooring offers durability for country living, while access to the utility room, WC and additional staircase enhances the home's functionality. Beneath the stairs, a charming reading nook adds personality and warmth.

The Heart Of The Home

The bespoke kitchen has been handmade by local joiner Tristan Goff and features hand-painted solid oak cabinetry, granite worktops, underfloor heating and a substantial central island. Integrated appliances, a walk-in pantry and adjoining plant room ensure the space functions as beautifully as it looks.

Beyond the kitchen, dedicated dining and snug areas create a sociable family hub. A roof lantern and French doors fill the room with natural light, while direct access to the gardens creates a seamless connection between inside and out.

A Principal Suite With A View

Occupying the first floor of the later extension, the principal suite enjoys triple-aspect windows and far-reaching countryside views. Generous proportions provide space for a dressing area, while a reclaimed fireplace adds further character.

The en suite continues the sense of quiet luxury, featuring a freestanding claw-foot bath, walk-in shower and textured tiling, creating a timeless and beautifully finished retreat.

A Charming Guest Bedroom

At the top of the extension, bedroom five provides comfortable and characterful guest accommodation. A dormer window, Velux rooflight and additional window frame views across the countryside and towards the village church, while the generous proportions allow ample space for freestanding furniture.

An Alternate Principal Suite

Within the original part of the house, bedroom two offers the feel of a second principal suite. Dual-aspect windows and a charming window seat frame far-reaching views across the countryside and gardens, while the generous proportions make it ideal for guests or older family members.

Its en suite features a freestanding claw-foot bath, walk-in shower and herringbone floor tiling, combining period character with everyday comfort.

A Calm And Characterful Double Bedroom

Across the landing, a further double bedroom continues the character of the original home. Dual-aspect windows and fitted wardrobes create a room that is bright, practical and highly versatile.

A Beautifully Bridged Family Bathroom

Positioned between the original and extended sections of the house, the family bathroom blends heritage and comfort. A claw-foot bath enjoys views towards the village church, while a walk-in shower, reclaimed fireplace and dresser vanity unit create a space full of individuality and charm.

Character Beneath The Eaves

The top floor of the original 1700s home reveals two further bedrooms beneath the eaves. Rich with exposed beams and period character, both rooms enjoy views across the gardens and village, creating peaceful and inviting accommodation. One benefits from an en suite shower room, making it particularly well suited to guests.

Gardens With Character And Future Potential

Outside, Old Church Farm offers a wonderful balance of practicality, privacy and opportunity. The garage benefits from power and lighting, while adjoining outbuildings hold approved planning permission for conversion into residential accommodation.

The gardens have been designed for both family life and outdoor enjoyment. Mature hedging, established planting and lawned areas wrap around the home, creating a private and established setting. A summer house provides a peaceful retreat, while the children's play area adds a sense of fun and everyday enjoyment.

A wildlife pond introduces a natural focal point, attracting birds and wildlife throughout the seasons. Two patio areas make the most of the sun throughout the day, creating inviting spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Set within a conservation area, the grounds feel private, established and beautifully connected to their surroundings.
