Dating from the late 17th century, The Old Farmhouse is a handsome red brick and part tile-hung doublefronted family home offering almost 2,600 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged predominantly over two floors.

Configured to provide an elegant family and entertaining space, sensitively combining neutral décor and modern amenities with period features, the accommodation flows from a porch and entrance hall. It briefly comprises a spacious drawing room with parquet flooring, a feature inglenook open fireplace and double doors to a rear aspect study with full-height glazing incorporating French doors to the garden, a generous central dining hall with feature fireplace and a door to a fitted utility room with en suite WC and a door to the rear terrace and a well-proportioned sitting room with a feature corner fireplace with woodburning stove.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a 20 ft dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, in need of some updating but currently providing quarry-tiled flooring, a range of base units, fitted storage, an Aga, space for a table and a door to the rear terrace.

Stairs rise from the dining hall to a beautiful and spacious split-level first floor landing with a large rear aspect picture window, giving access to a spacious dual aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage, three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a modern family shower room. A separate staircase rises to the second floor which houses the property’s remaining double bedroom which has a vaulted ceiling and inter-connecting dressing room with sink.

Outside

Set behind mature hedging and level lawn on a plot of 0.79 acres, the property is approached through five bar gates over a gravelled in-and-out driveway providing private parking and giving access to a detached double garage. The well-maintained rear garden has a lower and upper level with a bank in between and is laid mainly to lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features a swimming pool with paved surround, a timber summer house, lean-to, brick store, fruit cage, substantial greenhouse and paved rear terraces off the study and kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The whole is screened by mature hedging.
