Description

A Rare Lifestyle Opportunity – Lower College Farm

Imagine a home where every day feels like a celebration, where space, character and endless possibilities come together to create something truly extraordinary. Welcome to Lower College Farm — far more than a home, it’s a lifestyle destination designed for those who love to entertain, unwind and make lasting memories.

Set within approximately 3.5 acres of idyllic grounds, this remarkable four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached residence seamlessly combines timeless countryside charm with modern family living. Yet the main house is only the beginning. A wealth of exceptional extras awaits, including a detached annexe, home pub, function/games room, double garage and extensive agricultural stores — creating a property that is as versatile as it is impressive.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll be captivated by the warmth and character that flows throughout. Beautiful exposed beams, a cosy log burner and elegant bay windows create inviting living spaces filled with natural light and charm. At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner, perfectly designed for modern living. Featuring bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, extensive storage, rustic wooden flooring and a large sociable island, it’s a space made for everything from relaxed family breakfasts to unforgettable celebrations.

The ground floor continues to impress with two further generously sized reception rooms, a stylish family bathroom, a practical home office, cloakroom and utility room finished with matching kitchen cabinetry.

Adding even more flexibility, a second kitchen to the rear of the property offers exciting annexe potential, complete with its own private entrance and staircase leading to a double bedroom and bathroom. Whether for visiting guests, independent teenagers, multigenerational living or additional income opportunities, the possibilities are endless.

Upstairs, three further double bedrooms provide comfortable and spacious accommodation, including a superb principal suite with ensuite shower room and excellent built-in storage throughout.

And then there’s the detached annexe — an exceptional opportunity waiting to be realised. Currently a blank canvas, it offers scope for an entrance hall/utility, kitchen, living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Create the ultimate guest accommodation, holiday let, creative workspace or independent family residence; the choice is entirely yours.

Step outside and prepare to be amazed. The grounds are simply outstanding, offering a wonderful blend of privacy, space and functionality. Two substantial paddocks, charming courtyards, expansive patio areas and a second tarmacked driveway create the perfect setting for both relaxation and recreation. For those who love to entertain, the dedicated home bar and entertainment suite are guaranteed to impress, complete with its own W.C. and washing-up room. The covered patio area ensures gatherings can continue whatever the season, while the generous driveway, double garage and agricultural stores provide practical solutions for vehicles, equipment and hobbies alike.
