A striking Victorian farmhouse, The Farm House blends period character with comprehensive, recent renovation to create a large, turnkey family residence. Arranged over three floors, the house offers exceptionally generous reception space — including a formal sitting room with new log burner, a second reception/dining room and a breath-taking refitted kitchen/family room with French doors to the garden. An added garden room provides flexible space for entertaining, a gym or hobby use.
Sleeping accommodation is particularly notable: a nearly 22 x 17ft master suite with extensive built-ins and large en suite, three further bedrooms on the first floor (including an en suite and Jack-and-Jill arrangement) and a second-floor bedroom also measuring around 22 x 17ft with its own en suite. High ceilings, parquet and hardwood floors and sash-style double glazing retain the house’s period feel while modern fittings and 31 solar panels (installed 2023) improve energy efficiency.
Outside, landscaped, fully enclosed gardens sit behind traditional stone fencing with gated vehicular access to driveways either side. A substantial triple garage (double + single) with a well-presented studio above offers home-office or annex potential, plus room for several cars on the drive. The property sits in a semi-rural, hamlet setting close to good primary and secondary schools and benefits from very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for family life and home working.
Notable practical points: the house carries a relatively high council tax and any formal use of the garage studio as independent accommodation would require appropriate planning/consents. While extensively refurbished and largely turnkey, buyers should satisfy themselves on details of services and any permissions for alterations or extensions.
