About this property

A Grade II listed quintessential brick-and-flint detached farmhouse. Hawes Farm offers an exceptional combination of character, versatility and equestrian appeal.

The principal house provides beautifully arranged accommodation extending over several levels, comprising four/ five bedrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom suite with en-suite facilities, together with a farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room centred around an Aga, drawing room, dining room, study and garden room. This Grade II listed property is rich in period charm, showcasing exposed timbers, impressive inglenook fireplaces and a wealth of original features throughout. Ancillary accommodation within the main house includes a cellar, boot room and cloakroom, while the flexible layout lends itself to a variety of family living arrangements. Complementing the farmhouse is an adjoining timber framed barn with useful room above, offering excellent potential for a range of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

In addition, a detached two-bedroom annexe provides self-contained accommodation comprising a kitchen, sitting room and bathroom, ideal for guests, dependent relatives, staff accommodation or supplementary income opportunities, with good rental yield.

Outside
Outside, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing extensive parking and garaging. The attractive courtyard garden leads through to formal landscaped gardens, with a productive vegetable garden and enjoying views over the surrounding land. Beyond the gardens lie well-fenced paddocks extending to approximately 3 acres, making the property particularly well suited to those with equestrian, smallholding or lifestyle interests.

Hawes Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful country residence with substantial ancillary accommodation, excellent outbuildings including a self-contained yard, accessed some 500 metres from the house or can be directly accessed on foot through the garden/orchard - not shown on floor plan, which include two 12 x 12 stables, a tack room and a hay barn with electricity and running water. All within a delightful rural setting.
