Description
Hidden away in the highly sought after village of Mawdesley, Monks Farm is a beautiful barn conversion completed in 1994. Invisible from the lane, accessed via a stone slab driveway, it offers the discerning buyer complete privacy. Set in excess of 10 acres of gardens and fields surrounded by a variety of mature trees and woodlands it would suit those with equestrian needs. The accommodation offers four reception rooms, and four bedrooms. The outbuildings also offer the opportunity, subject to the necessary planning consents, for the possibility of a further dwelling or various other uses, such as equestrian facilities or office to give a couple of examples. Viewing is essential to appreciate this unique property.
Externally
Approached down a stone slab drive with a tree lined paddock to the right, the property opens into a large courtyard between the home and the outbuildings, providing parking for numerous vehicles. The cottage style gardens are well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and foliage and offer quaint areas to sit back and relax. Beyond the home lie the fields, bordered by many fine mature trees and, on the northerly edge by a brook in the woodland, there are two natural ponds in the fields that provide the visiting wildlife a source of cool water.
