Description
Wheelbarrow Farm is a much-loved family home coming to the market for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The house is well presented and offers good-sized rooms throughout with glorious views across the countryside. The house is set to the south of the plot and offers light-filled accommodation with well proportioned rooms, all on one floor.
The main entrance is into a vaulted formal dining room with ceiling lights. There is a well appointed utility room and off this is a lovely double aspect kitchen with central preparation island and there is a fifth bedroom/study off it. There is a wonderful vaulted dining room with ceiling lights and a formal sitting room with open fireplace and a large feature window looking out over the gardens and grounds and double French doors leading outside.
There is a sunroom too with a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass, offering glorious views out across your own land and the countryside beyond.
On the other side of the house are four good-sized double bedrooms, two with ensuite bath / shower rooms, a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and storage and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Wheelbarrow Farm is a delightful family home but it also offers scope for extending and rearranging, subject to the usual planning consents.
A real feature of the property are the lovely gardens, grounds and paddock. There is off-street parking for several vehicles and two barns. The barns could provide scope for refurbishment into an additional property/Annexe perfect for multi-generational living, but subject to the necessary planning consents.
Surrounding the house and barns are beautiful gardens, with formal lawns, herbaceous borders and terraces, mature specimen trees, greenhouses and a vegetable patch, hedging and paddocks of circa 6.7 acres.
