Description

Rooks Nest Farm is a well presented period

oak flooring, inglenook fireplaces and exposed
oak beams.

The property has an integrated annexe, accessed from the entrance hall or via its own entrance, with a sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom with en suite shower room and separate WC. The annexe is ideal for additional family accommodation or as income potential.

The accommodation in the main house comprises an entrance hall, sitting room with a wood burning stove set in an inglenook fireplace, dining room with a cast iron fireplace, beautiful triple aspect family room with oak framed glazed windows, a limestone floor and double doors to the sun terrace, kitchen/breakfast room with fitted wooden units and timber work surfaces, a Belfast sink, integrated appliances, original floor tiles and a four oven Aga, a walk in larder, laundry room, boot
room and adjoining tack room, cloakroom and machinery store with double doors to the garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms, an office and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has a dressing room, walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with a roll top bath.

Rooks Nest Farm is located in an elevated position in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views over the surrounding countryside. The village of Brompton Ralph,
approximately 1 mile away, offers a range of local
facilities with a post office, village store, village hall
