Dating back to the 1930s with sympathetic modern-day extensions, Five Farthings is a handsome home which proudly stands within landscaped gardens and grounds with far reaching views.

In an elevated position commanding stunning views, this wonderful home has been sympathetically extended to create a versatile home. Enjoying pleasant architectural features including high ceilings, art and craft style windows and appealing fireplaces, this truly is a welcoming home.

From the entrance porch, the front door opens into a large hallway which leads to all reception rooms and the staircase to the first floor. The ground floor is beautifully light owing to many picture windows and enjoys uninterrupted views over the garden and beyond. The kitchen / breakfast room is a multi-functional room enhanced by vaulted ceilings, a large area to dine or relax, and is fitted with an array of cupboards, an Aga and high-end integral appliances. A door leads to an adjoining utility room with additional storage and pantry. The sitting room is of good proportions and gives access to the sun room which features French Doors that lead out to a discreet terrace. A useful dining room with bespoke cabinetry, and a cloak room complete the
ground floor.

Ascend to the first floor and there are three bedrooms of considerable proportions, two of which have en-suite bath or shower rooms. The main bedroom is generous in size and enjoys views over surrounding countryside. The family bathroom completes this floor. Stairs leads to the top of the home and two further bedrooms both featuring extensive eaves storage.
