About this property

Coming to the market for the first time in nearly 40 years, this rare and compelling, detached former farmhouse is beautifully positioned within approximately 1.34 acres of landscaped parkland gardens and paddock, offering a secluded yet highly accessible lifestyle surrounded by open countryside yet only a short walk from the town centre.

The property has been extensively improved and meticulously maintained, including new and refurbished windows throughout and a new sewage treatment plant. Blending period charm with refined modern living, the accommodation is both generous and versatile, arranged over three floors and ideally suited to family life and entertaining. This is an exceptional home of character and quality, offering space, privacy, and an enviable countryside setting — early viewing is highly recommended.

At the heart of the home are three elegant reception rooms, each thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and outlook, providing a choice of formal and informal living spaces. The interiors are immaculately presented, combining timeless finishes with practical functionality. There is a heart of the home kitchen/breakfast room that is well equipped with views over the garden. An elegant drawing room to the rear with a feature fireplace and French doors that lead out onto the rear terrace. The ground floor is completed by a formal dining room to the front, a cosy snug/play room, a useful, substantial utility boot room and a cloakroom.

The first floor offers three beautifully appointed king size bedrooms with wonderful ceiling height, including an impressive principal suite featuring a dedicated dressing area, an en-suite bathroom and stunning views across the gardens and grounds. On the second floor, the remaining two bedrooms are both a generous size, all bedrooms are served by well-appointed bath and shower facilities.

Outside
Approached via a peaceful country lane, the property gives access to a double garage with integral workshop. The front garden is attractively arranged with a manicured lawn, established borders and climbing plants. To the rear, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed into key useable areas. The formal garden is laid to lawn and complemented by mature herbaceous planting and decorative wall climbers. A pretty timber footbridge leads over the river, leading to another area of garden which is well stocked with mature trees, shrubs and boundary hedging, and includes a detached, heated wooden dog kennel. Beyond this, a further footbridge opens onto the paddock of approximately 1 acre. The paddock was historically used for grazing and includes a former stable building and original gated access, now overgrown, but offering potential for reinstatement.
