Overview
Mudwall Farm is a pretty timber framed farmhouse of plastered elevations under a plain tiled roof of medieval origins, now listed Grade II as being of architectural and historical importance.
The ground floor has three comfortable reception rooms of similar proportions, all of which run from the front to the rear, welcoming plenty of natural light. There is a sitting room in which to relax, and a study with its brick-built fireplace, fitted with a log burner. Additionally, the impressive formal dining room has a vaulted, double-height ceiling and a grand original fireplace with a stove. Also on the ground floor, the well-equipped kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level, and space for other necessary appliances. Adjoining the kitchen, the well-proportioned utility room provides further space for home storage and appliances.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, all of which have built-in storage, including the generous principal bedroom which has windows to both the front and rear. The first floor also has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower, while the ground floor has a useful additional shower room.
Mudwall Farmhouse is set within beautiful and extensive gardens, which back onto open fields, creating a sense of peace and tranquillity. The gardens are set mostly to the front of the house, taking advantage of the south-facing aspect, which welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The gardens include a patio area at the front of the house, which is ideal for al fresco dining, with a far-reaching lawn beyond, dotted with various mature trees and wildflowers. The gardens also feature a children’s climbing frame and a garden store, while towards the end of the plot there is a vegetable garden with raised beds. Parking is available on the gravel driveway at the front of the property, where there is also access to the detached triple cart lodge.
