We have pleasure in offering to the market this stunning conversion of a former, period farmhouse with a deceptive and sprawling level of accommodation spanning three floors and lying in the region of 3,600 sq.ft., with every room having its own individuality as well as a wealth of character and features.
The property has been sympathetically renovated throughout, combining both contemporary and traditional elements to a high standard, with a great deal of thought and attention to detail, overall making a beautifully presented, individual, village home.
The property provides up to five/six bedrooms and four reception areas including a basement cellar conversion which has previously been utilised as a cinema/games room. Two more formal reception rooms provide a living and separate sitting room, both with attractive fireplaces and beamed ceilings, with the heart of the home becoming the open plan living/dining kitchen which benefits from a garden room overlooking the garden. The kitchen is tastefully appointed to maintain the farmhouse style atmosphere. In addition there is a spacious utility room, useful home office and ground floor cloak room. A beautiful period staircase rises to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms, an ensuite and family bathroom. To the second floor is a versatile layout in the eaves which currently provides two further double bedrooms, a central reception area and shower room making this ideal as teenage or guest suite.
As well as the wealth of accommodation the property occupies a pleasant, established plot close to the heart of the village, having fantastic panoramic views to the front across adjacent paddocks and fields beyond, as well as an aspect across to the pretty village church.
The property provides off road parking and has a large lawn and spacious terrace to the front which links back into the living area of the kitchen creating a fantastic outdoor entertaining space.
The only way to truly appreciate this individual home is by internal inspection.
