Description

Approached via a gravel drive between two formal lawns, one enters The Farmhouse
via the side door into a useful boot room with door to the private courtyard. To the
right is a large pantry and to the left is the vaulted, dual aspect kitchen-diner. Part
of the modern extension, it is flooded with natural light via the skylights and has a
Sonos speaker system within the ceiling. The central island provides breakfast bar
seating and has a beautiful counter-top of reconstituted stone. A key feature of the
kitchen is the electric AGA with attached electric cooker. The kitchen also benefits
from integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer. French doors from the dining area
open onto the private courtyard, ideal for entertaining.

Stairs lead down to the heart of the original property dating back to the 17th century,
complete with quintessential farmhouse period features such as exposed wooden
floors, beams, deep window sills and fireplaces. The original entrance hall flows into
a dual aspect sitting room with bay window to the front of the property, window
seat with views over the garden, working fireplace with stone surround and beams.
Through from the sitting room is the family room again with the fireplace being the
main focal point of the room. Double doors open into the dining room featuring built
in cupboards and alcoves and a stone surround fireplace housing a woodburner.

Sweeping round is the south facing garden room with french doors onto the courtyard.
A utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor of The Farmhouse.

carport is a pottager with central greenhouse.

displaying seasonal planting. An array of blossoms trees and climbers can also be
