** GRADE II LISTED GEORGIAN FARMHOUSE ** PLOT IN THE REGION ON 0.44 ACRE ** UP TO 6 BEDROOMS & 6 RECEPTIONS ** ATTACHED ANNEXE-STYLE BUILDING ** SYMPATHETICALLY REFURBISHED ** EXTENSIVE PARKING & DOUBLE GARAGE **
We have pleasure in offering to the market this handsome double fronted Grade II Listed Georgian farmhouse which offers a wealth of accommodation and occupies a generous established plot just in excess of 0.4 of an acre.
Understood to date back to the early 1800s the property has been well maintained over the years and has seen a sympathetic programme of renovation combining both traditional and modern elements.
The grand three storey part of the property offers a more formal level of accommodation expected of a property of its era with high ceilings and deep skirting, Georgian style fireplaces, original turning staircase leading off a central hallway to the accommodation above.
This area of the house links through into a two storey more cottage-style area of the house and combined provides six versatile reception areas and up to six double bedrooms with three bath/shower rooms.
The spacious open plan living/dining kitchen is appointed with a generous range of units and integrated appliances and links back into the main part of the house as well as a single storey addition to the side, which could be utilised for a variety of purposes including additional reception space, home office, games room or gym, but would certainly lend itself to those with extended families with dependent relative requiring annexe-style facilities.
The property occupies a deceptive and particularly generous established plot with gated access onto a large sweeping driveway providing considerable off road parking and leading to a double garage.
The gardens extend to in excess of 0.4 of an acre having well stocked perimeter borders, generous lawn as well as a large block set enclosed courtyard.
All of this is situated close to the heart of this well served highly regarded village and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
