Flawborough

We have great pleasure in offering to the market this handsome Grade II listed former farmhouse located at the heart of this pretty hamlet and occupying a substantial plot providing formal gardens and grass paddocks extending to the region of 3 acres.

The former farmhouse itself has been sympathetically renovated and reconfigured over the years to provide in excess of 3,000 sq.ft. of accommodation plus additional attached outbuildings which combined create a versatile and interesting family home with immense character. Every room offers its own individuality from spacious main receptions to cosy snugs, generous bedrooms and a variety of bathrooms and ensuites. In total the property boasts 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 5 receptions as well as a spacious farmhouse style kitchen, ground floor cloak room and additional boot room and utility. In addition there are further outbuildings, one of which has been converted and previously utilised as a useful office.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a stunning generous plot which lies in the region of 3 acres comprising just an acre of formal gardens and approximately 1.9 acres of grass paddock making it ideal for the equestrian purchaser with access directly to the rear of the house.

Overall this is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning individual home within a highly regarded and well sought after area.
