The Property

Knightingsfield is a substantial and versatile detached country home, formerly a public house, offering generously proportioned accommodation with a choice of reception spaces ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, contrasting work surfaces and a range-style cooker, with a window enjoying an attractive outlook over the surrounding countryside. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility / boot room, providing additional storage and direct access to the outside.

The sitting room is a comfortable and welcoming space, centred around a woodburning stove set within a stone fireplace. An open archway leads through to the adjoining lounge area, creating a sociable and flexible arrangement for everyday living and entertaining.

The lounge also has double doors leading to the impressive conservatory. Flooded with natural light, the conservatory provides a wonderful space for relaxing or dining whilst enjoying views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. French doors open directly onto the gardens, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Further ground floor accommodation includes an additional dining room/snug/office and adjoining workshop, offering useful and adaptable spaces which could be utilised in a variety of ways. The original public house toilet facilities also remain and offer potential for reconfiguration to suit a purchaser’s individual requirements.

The staircase rises to the first floor, where there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, whilst the principal bedroom is further complemented by a generous walk-in wardrobe that could be used as an office or nursery. The bedrooms enjoy pleasant outlooks over the gardens, paddocks and surrounding countryside.

Outside

Knightingsfield is set within approximately 4.86 acres of established gardens, grounds and enclosed fields, enjoying attractive countryside views and a peaceful rural setting. The gardens surround the house and include lawns and mature planting, while sloping fields extend to the side and rear with the benefit of a large polytunnel in the second field.

There is extensive off-road parking together with a useful range of outbuildings including stone-built storage units and workshop, greenhouse, stable block, wood store and attached workshop, offering excellent scope for equestrian, small holding or hobby use.

Together with the gardens and outbuildings, these provide excellent versatility for those with equestrian, smallholding or general amenity interests.

The Dutch barn provides an exciting development opportunity. A Class Q Prior Approval application (P252189/PA4) was submitted for the change of use of the agricultural building and land within its curtilage to form one four bedroom residential dwelling. This provides an excellent opportunity to create a separate residential dwelling within the grounds of Knightingsfield, subject to compliance with the requirements and conditions of the consent.
