Farlers End - Almost 300 Years of Character and the First Opportunity to Buy Littlefield House in Nearly Four Decades

Littlefield House
An enchanting and characterful former farmhouse, believed to date from the early 18th century and being sold for the first time in nearly four decades. Rich in warmth, character and history, this charming period home offers exceptionally generous accommodation extending to approximately 3,200 sq ft, together with a lovely, secluded and level garden in a quiet yet remarkably convenient setting.

Set behind electronically operated gates, the property makes an impressive first impression. Its attractive façade provides only a hint of the extensive and immensely versatile accommodation found within, which seems to unfold from one inviting room to the next.

The particularly spacious and welcoming reception hall opens onto a selection of charming reception rooms. The sitting room has an attractive low-sill bay window overlooking the garden and is currently used as a music room, although this appealing space would work equally well as a snug or sizeable study.

The living room is wonderfully light and beautifully proportioned, with triple-aspect windows creating a bay effect and once again overlooking the garden. A wood-burning stove sits within a magnificent inglenook fireplace, creating a superb focal point and adding greatly to the atmosphere and character of the house.

A breakfast room adjoins the large kitchen and provides ample space for informal dining. There is a pantry off this room, while a cloakroom is conveniently positioned off a separate lobby. The kitchen itself is equipped with a good range of fitted wall and floor cupboards and cabinets, together with a peninsula breakfast bar, built-in eye-level double ovens and a hob set within a former fireplace, with an extractor hood above.

The separate utility room is an excellent practical space, providing plumbing for a washing machine and room for further appliances, together with useful storage and a door opening onto the driveway.

The formal dining room is another attractive and well-proportioned reception room, again arranged to overlook the garden and featuring parquet flooring with a traditional rug well. The dining room in turn leads to a staircase hall, from which the stairs rise to the first floor.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms in total. Four are comfortable double rooms, several with fitted wardrobes and washbasins, while the fifth is a very comfortable single bedroom. Each has its own distinct character and all enjoy a light and airy feel.

The bedrooms are served by two bathrooms and a separate WC.

Throughout their long ownership, the present owners have found Littlefield House to be an exceptionally warm and welcoming home. Its generous proportions have allowed them to bring up their family here, host countless parties and gatherings, and welcome children, partners and grandchildren for Christmas and other special occasions.

Despite its considerable size, the house has always retained a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, with ample room for everyone to come together or to find a quiet corner of their own.

The Gardens and Grounds
The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property’s defining features. Predominantly south-facing, they wrap around the front and rear of the house, creating a private and beautifully established setting.

Sweeping lawns are complemented by colourful mature borders, established planting and numerous areas from which to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. A superb flagstone terrace has provided the setting for many family barbecues and summer gatherings, while also offering a wonderfully peaceful place in which to sit, read and simply enjoy the garden.

To the rear is a separate and productive vegetable garden, together with a further area of private, level lawn.

Attached to the house is a substantial double garage, served by two driveways providing generous off-road parking.
