About this property

An exceptional 17th Century substantial farmhouse which has been sympathetically modernised to an impressive standard standing in a third of an acre with self contained annexe.

Occupying an attractive position within a conservation area and overlooking a small village green, the property offers over 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, including well-appointed self-contained ancillary accommodation. The property provides the perfect balance between idyllic village life and convenient connectivity. Behind the handsome ironstone façade, original features have been carefully preserved blending the charm and character of its historic origins with the comfort and practicality expected of modern family living having been recently renovated throughout to the highest of standards including the replacement of all windows with double glazed units.

Exposed beams, flagstone floors, original shutters, window seats, four-panel pine doors and an array of fireplaces create an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. The ground floor offers an excellent arrangement of living space centred around three generous reception rooms each providing a distinct setting for family life and entertaining. The magnificent vaulted sitting room is a particular highlight featuring extensive full-height display cabinetry. At the heart of the home sits the beautifully fitted bespoke farmhouse kitchen, complete with a brand new electric ‘Everhot’, a range of units, hand crafted by a highly regarded local joiner, complimented by Quartz worksurfaces and fitted appliances. It combines practicality with timeless style. Arranged over three floors there are five well-proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms. The accommodation has been carefully modernised throughout, resulting in a home that feels both elegant and effortless to occupy. Generous room proportions, period detailing and plenty of natural light create a nicely balanced living environment. Attached to the main house is a superb one-bedroom annexe, thoughtfully designed to offer complete independence comprising a living area, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom facilities.
