A charming and generously proportioned Grade II listed farmhouse with south and west-facing views across the surrounding farmland

Description

This is a charming and generously proportioned Grade II listed farmhouse with south and west-facing views across the surrounding farmland. The house is in good order and has been well maintained.

The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall with an adjoining drawing room and sitting room, creating a versatile and flowing living space. From here, a doorway opens into the rear lobby housing the main staircase, with doors to a west-facing patio. This in turn leads to a well-appointed kitchen filled with light and centred around a generous island unit, providing a practical layout. An office with both internal access and its own external entrance is situated at the front of the property. The living/dining room is supported by a spacious scullery and utility room, as well as a butler’s pantry. A boot room sits beyond, while a separate boiler room is discreetly positioned on the far side of the property.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises six bedrooms. The expansive principal bedroom enjoys an ensuite and views over the garden, complemented by a spacious secondary bedroom, also with an en suite. Four additional well-proportioned double bedrooms are situated at the front of the property, all connected by a central landing fitted with skylights to maximise natural light, and are served by an updated family bathroom.

Externally, the property features a landscaped south and west-facing garden with attractive views across the surrounding farmland, along with a substantial front driveway for private parking. The immediate grounds of Ivy House benefit from a sprinkler irrigation system, an attractive double garage, a range of traditional storage sheds and a shooting room providing useful storage accommodation.
