Description

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a truly unique detached farmhouse, set within a secluded position and occupying a generous plot of approximately 1.25 acres. Retaining an abundance of character and charming period features, this impressive property offers versatile accommodation, further enhanced by two detached cottages and a separate gym/sauna, presenting an ideal opportunity for multi-generational living, holiday accommodation or additional income potential.

The main farmhouse offers a wealth of charm and character throughout. The ground floor comprises a welcoming sitting room featuring two working fireplaces, creating a wonderfully cosy space, alongside a separate dining room with doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with solid wood worktops, a central island and a range of integrated appliances. There is a generous cellar incorporating a useful utility area. A further double bedroom is accessed via the dining room, offering additional flexibility to the accommodation.

To the first floor, there are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying its own en-suite facilities and benefiting from beautiful, far-reaching countryside views.

Externally, the property is approached via a private driveway leading to a generous parking area with ample space for several vehicles, together with a covered double cart barn. To the rear, a patio area with a covered barbecue space provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, leading onto an extensive lawned garden with a further paddock beyond.

The grounds also benefit from a charming tree house, a games room/bar and a separate summerhouse with power connected. Together with the additional gym/sauna, these features create a wonderful lifestyle offering with plenty of scope for leisure and entertaining.

Adding considerable appeal and versatility are two separate detached cottages, one offering two bedrooms and the other three bedrooms.

Both provide exciting opportunities for a variety of uses, whether as established or potential holiday accommodation, Airbnb ventures, independent annexe accommodation or for multi-generational living.

With its secluded setting, generous grounds, wealth of character and impressive range of additional accommodation, this is a truly distinctive property offering a rare combination of rural lifestyle and exciting potential.
