High Cross Farm, Station Road, Offenham, WR11 8LW

An Enchanting Country Escape Where Heritage Meets Elegance

Stepping through the gates of High Cross Farm, the rush of the modern world simply fades away. This is far more than a residence; it is a sanctuary of warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Wrapped in the soft hues of classic English brickwork, the home stands as a proud sentinel over its lush, rolling grounds totalling approximately 1.3 acres, offering a lifestyle defined by absolute peace and privacy.

The family kitchen garden room is the soul of the home. This expansive space, featuring bespoke cabinetry and a range cooker, is ideal for slow Sunday mornings and lively family celebrations. With doors opening directly onto a charming large seating area, the transition between indoor comfort and the beauty of the gardens is effortless.

The home boasts three versatile reception rooms, each with its own distinct personality. Two are generous, character-filled living spaces where large windows invite an abundance of natural light. Bathed in the golden glow of the afternoon sun, the main living room beckons you to unwind by the fireplace, as does the second lounge dining room with its own log burner feature fireplace. A third room, currently utilised as a sophisticated study, offers the perfect space for home working.

The upper floors offer four well-proportioned bedrooms and an attic room, designed as restful retreats. The master suite is a particular highlight, complete with a balcony, offering a private vantage point over the manicured gardens and the horizon beyond. With three elegant en-suites plus a spacious family bathroom, the home balances period charm with the luxury of modern convenience.

A significant feature of High Cross Farm is The Coach House. This self-contained, one-bedroom annexe provides light and airy ground-floor living, complete with its own separate kitchen, bathroom, and lounge - ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. Additionally, a further private bedroom suite with its own bathroom is tucked away above the annexe, accessed via an external staircase to ensure total independence and privacy.

The gardens of High Cross Farm are nothing short of spectacular. Dotted with mature specimen trees and sprawling manicured lawns, the sense of space is profoundly liberating. Whether you are hosting a summer garden party on the sun-drenched decked terrace or exploring a hidden, quiet corner of the garden, the grounds offer a rare and beautiful connection to nature. Parking for guests is not an issue with ample gated parking, further parking to the front for lots of vehicles and three car ports. Storage is great too with a garage, a workshop and a shed.
