About this property

An attractive three bedroom and three reception room period farmhouse, located in a hamlet on the edge of Rudge and near the popular village of Beckington. Spacious accommodation, garaging, parking, home office and 1.2 acres of enclosed gardens.

Honeywell Farm is a most charming country home of redbrick and stone under a clay-tiled roof with a central porch creating a welcoming entrance. The entrance hall is flanked by two rooms - a sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove on one side and a cosy reading/music room on the other. Moving through the reading room brings you to the spacious kitchen and dining room. This L-shaped room features farmhouse style units, flagstone flooring and a two-oven Aga. There is plenty of room for a large dining table next to windows looking out to the garden. An inner hall first provides access to the garden and the cloakroom, before leading into a superb garden room with a tall A-framed ceiling and three walls of windows offering an almost panoramic garden view. The delightful ground floor bedroom has exposed beams, an attractive open fireplace and French windows leading to the garden. The first floor has two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite has a central anteroom with a shower room on one side and the bedroom on the other. The bedroom has a pleasant aspect across the garden and to the fields beyond. There is a sizeable walk-in wardrobe and an attic storage room. The second bedroom on this floor is another spacious room featuring a tall-beamed ceiling and a large fireplace. The bedroom is served by the adjacent family bathroom.

The Annexe
This L-shaped outbuilding has recently been refurbished and provides a double garage, a substantial home office, fitness room, storeroom and lawn mower room. There is a covered seating area overlooking the garden. Because it has been fitted out so well, the annexe offers potential for a self-contained unit.

Outside
Honeywell Farm is a wisteria clad farmhouse with flower borders to the front, along with a circular gravel drive that provides plenty of parking space. The garden is well tended with a large level lawn interspersed by fruit trees and flower borders. Adjacent to the house, a patio area is perfect for summer dining, while a wooden summer house provides a cosy, covered outdoor space. At the opposite end of the garden, there is a vegetable garden, green house and polytunnel, as well as a soft fruit area with established raspberry, gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes. A wooden stable provides plenty of room for garden storage. The large level paddock has some fine trees, one being home to a big, well-built treehouse. There is a sizeable apple tree and several much younger fruit trees. A generous purpose-built wooden table provides an idyllic barbecue area under an oak canopy. All in all, the site offers 1.2 acres of enclosed garden and grounds.

Situation
Brokerswood is a small hamlet with 80 acres of ancient woodland positioned just outside the village of Rudge and near Beckington.
