Green Farmhouse is an immaculately presented period farmhouse with extensive garaging and with two acres of mature gardens. The house is Grade II Listed and is of Gothic Revival style dating from the mid-19th Century. Built of red brick with some blue brick decoration under a tiled roof, the farmhouse originally formed part of the Kimberley Estate which was dispersed in the mid 1950's.

Inside, the reception hall has fantastic original mosaic Victorian flooring and large oak double doors to the entrance porch. The ceiling heights are excellent throughout and the rooms are light and airy offering good sized family accommodation. The principal reception rooms are south facing with marble fireplaces, cornicing and ceiling roses, and an inner hallway links through to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is finished to a high standard and has a kitchen island with a granite work surface and other oak work surfaces. The kitchen is semi open plan to the breakfast/garden room which has a high vaulted ceiling and direct access to the rear courtyard garden. Beyond the kitchen is the utility which has built in appliances and plenty of storage.

Upstairs there is an excellent dual aspect principal bedroom suite with built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. The remainder of the accommodation is flexible with six further bedrooms, many of which have delightful views over the gardens and grounds.

This property has 2.06 acres of land.

Outside

Green Farmhouse is approached via iron gates onto a long-gravelled driveway with tree lined lawn gardens on one side. The gravelled driveway leads to the front of the house where there is extensive parking, and to substantial outbuildings to the rear. The outbuildings make for extensive garaging but could have many other uses.

The gardens are extremely attractive with a mature yew hedge with access arch intersecting from one section to another. The gardens enjoy mature hedge boundaries with post and rail fencing, a range of broadleaf and coniferous specimen trees, and well stocked flower beds and shrub borders. Nearer to the house is a walled courtyard garden with loggia.
