The Property
Entered from the front into a bright porch overlooking the beautiful front garden. From here a double glazed door provides access to a welcoming hallway where a sweeping staircase leads to the upper level. Retaining a lot of original features such as high ceilings, solid timber doors and cornicing, the hallway is the throughway to the majority of accommodation with two bedrooms and bathroom on the upper level, and a further bedroom, shower room, utility room and WC on the upper and lower ground level via separate stairwell. The ground floor provides access to the dining room, living room with snug, back hallway with WC and large conservatory, dining kitchen and a further double ensuite bedroom located above the dining kitchen via another stairwell. All rooms are tastefully decorated with both the dining room and living room boasting warming log burners, high ceilings and cornicing. A balcony from the dining room is a lovely feature, overlooking the side of the property. The snug, which is located within the living room, has a large picture window to allow the stunning views to be admired. A rear hallway gives way to a WC, door to the rear garden and patio and also to the spacious conservatory. The conservatory is well positioned with these stunning views in mind and offers a warm and comfortable reception room with doors to the rear garden.

The dining kitchen is accessed from the living room (or alternatively through the rear hallway) and is a very good size with ample floor and wall units providing excellent storage. An Aga range cooker and separate integrated electric oven with four burner ceramic hob provides cooking facilities and there is ample space for a table and chairs. An internal window to the conservatory provides a good deal of light and again beautiful views. A door from here leads to another stairwell which provides access to a large double ensuite bedroom and also houses the fridge freezer and provides additional storage. This large bedroom with double aspect windows, is an ideal guest room and benefits from an ensuite shower room.

Finally from the main hallway, a door provides entry to another hallway where stairs lead up to a double bedroom and down to a shower room, utility room and WC. Again this area is ideal guest accommodation or for an older child looking for their own space. The utility room is well equipped with washing machine, tumble dryer, sink and drainer and a bank of floor and wall units provide excellent storage. A WC is located just off the utility room and a door provides access to the rear garden area.

This unique farmhouse is traditional yet with a contemporary feel and must be seen to fully understand the quirkiness and love that has gone in to restoring it back to a much cherished family home.
