Situation

The property enjoys a quiet position close to Sherfield on Loddon, a popular village, mostly centred around the large village green. There is a wide range of local amenities including a church, three public houses, coffee shop with post office, excellent village shop, village hall, Sherfield School and Sherfield Oaks Golf Club. It is located within the Conservation Area which states:

''Carpenters Farmhouse originates from the 16th and 17th centuries and is a T-shaped timber-framed house of two-storeys. The timber-frame is infilled with red brick and the half-hipped roof is tiled. The farmhouse and its associated complex of farm buildings terminate the long views along Goddards Lane. They contribute significantly to the special character of this part of the Conservation Area, and provide views to the open farmland to the north of the lane''

More comprehensive shopping, educational and recreational facilities can be found in the regional centres of Basingstoke (6 miles) and Reading (12 miles).

Sherfield on Loddon is strategically well placed for local and regional communications with the A33 providing easy access to both the M4 and M3 and to the main line stations at Reading (Paddington 40 minutes) and Basingstoke (Waterloo 45 minutes).

The Property

Carpenters Farmhouse is a rare property: a Grade II Listed Tudor farmhouse which has been sympathetically extended and modernised with its original yard and outbuildings enjoying a peaceful location with open views. It now offers comfortable family accommodation extending to over 3,000 sq.ft, retaining much of its original character yet offers excellent ceiling heights and the convenience of underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

On the ground floor the excellent oak-framed extension has created a magnificent ‘lifestyle’ kitchen/dining/family area, fully fitted and enjoying a magnificent outlook from its glazed walls. Both sitting room and family room have heavily beamed ceilings and large brick fireplace, both with log-burning stoves. There is also a utility/boot room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor, the master bedroom suite is located in the oak-framed extension with its separate staircase. There are three more double bedrooms. One has an en-suite bathroom and a small study area, and another has a staircase to a loft study area. There is also the family shower room, and, on the second floor, there is a study/occasional bedroom 5.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan.

Outside

The property is approached over a gated gravel driveway through the farmyard with its extensive range of outbuildings (which extend to over 2,000 sq.ft. one of which previously had residential planning granted, now lapsed) which has an orchard and a number of mature willow trees.
