Ground Floor:

Steeped in character and brimming with original period features, this substantial farmhouse presents an exciting opportunity to restore a historic home to its former glory.

The garage benefits from a spacious first-floor room, ideal for conversion into a home office, studio or extensive storage, subject to any necessary consents.

The farmhouse is entered through a solid timber entrance door into a welcoming inner hallway. From here are doors leading to a useful utility room, ground floor shower room and a traditional farmhouse kitchen complete with wall and base units, pantry and rear door providing direct access to the outside.

The principal reception room is centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace, creating a wonderful focal point and showcasing the property’s heritage. From the lounge, a garden room enjoys views across the gardens whilst providing direct access to the courtyard.

A further hallway leads to two additional reception rooms, including an inviting space featuring a second inglenook fireplace with windows overlooking both the front and side elevations, and a formal dining room benefitting from built-in storage and front-facing views. A useful cellar is accessed beneath the staircase.

First Floor:

The first floor offers a flexible arrangement of accommodation, beginning with a double bedroom, separate shower room and family bathroom incorporating the airing cupboard. A split-level landing leads to two further generous double bedrooms, each retaining original fireplaces and front-facing windows, adding to the property’s period appeal.

The second floor continues to impress with attic storage and a further landing leading to two additional bedrooms, offering excellent versatility for growing families, guest accommodation or home working.

Outside:
