A charming unlisted period farmhouse with detached unconverted granary and well established gardens.

Description

Believed to date in part from the 17th century with later additions, Little Rabbits Cross Farmhouse is a charming unlisted period property comprising the main former farmhouse with tile hung and brick elevations together with a detached unconverted two storey granary, all set within mature gardens of just over half an acre.

Coming to the open market for the first time in over 45 years, this characterful home with many period features has been reconfigured and extended by the current vendors and provides flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.

The entrance hall with tiled flooring, leads through to an attractive beamed 24ft sitting room with inglenook fireplace to one end and to the other, an adjoining study/family room with hobby room off. A wide archway leads from the sitting room through to the dining room where in turn double doors open to the kitchen.

The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of cupboards and a walk in pantry with automatic light. There is space for various free standing appliances. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and access to the garden.

A staircase leads to the first floor where three attractive bedrooms include the main bedroom which enjoys a dual aspect and has an en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside a timber gate opens to the gravel drive where there is ample parking. The gardens are mainly down to lawn, with terraced areas, level lawns, a variety of mature trees and shrubs and a natural pond.

The pretty unconverted granary is full of charm and character, retaining all the features of the original building, having immense potential, subject to planning. This excellent two storey space is currently utilised for storage purposes, it benefits from an internal staircase and mains electricity.
