Description

Marshalls Farm is an exceptionally situated two/three-bedroom detached bungalow occupying a wonderfully secluded position at the foot of a private access road, surrounded by privately owned land and set within established grounds extending to approximately 1.78 acres.

With no immediate neighbours, the property is approached via a substantial private parking area, providing ample space for multiple vehicles. The well-appointed accommodation is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall with attractive LVT flooring, leading to a dual-aspect double bedroom, a high-specification fully tiled shower room, and an impressive triple-aspect sitting room with UPVC windows and doors that frame delightful views across the surrounding grounds.

The dual-aspect fitted kitchen is comprehensively equipped with an extensive range of gloss-fronted units, solid wood work surfaces and a four-door Leisure range oven, creating a stylish yet practical heart to the home. An adjoining gloss-fronted utility room provides additional storage and functionality, with stable door access to the outside.

A further double bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, offering flexible and well-balanced accommodation suitable for a variety of lifestyles, with potential for a third bedroom or additional reception space if required.

Externally, Marshalls Farm is set within extensive established grounds, with mature border planting and enclosed fencing ensuring privacy and seclusion. The generous plot offers significant scope for further landscaping, extension or adaptation into a more substantial dwelling, subject to the necessary consents. The private access road is shared with just three additional users and operates under a proportional maintenance agreement. Marshalls Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern, energy-efficient home in a highly private rural setting, offering considerable appeal to local, regional and national purchasers seeking space, sustainability and tranquillity.

The property enjoys an enviable rural position, set well back from passing traffic and surrounded by open countryside and privately owned farmland. The setting offers a peaceful and unspoilt environment, ideal for those seeking a lifestyle retreat, whilst remaining accessible to nearby villages and market towns that provide everyday amenities, schooling and transport connections.

The area is renowned for its attractive countryside, country walks and outdoor pursuits, with a strong sense of community within the surrounding villages.

Despite its seclusion, Marshalls Farm remains conveniently positioned for access to regional road networks, making it suitable for commuters or those requiring connections further afield.

The combination of privacy, accessibility and natural surroundings is a key feature of this unique offering.
