The approach is alongside the stone barn and garden wall, accessed off a quiet country lane, where you immediately arrive in the private courtyard. Bradshaws is an imposing period property that the same family has occupied for 19 years. The front of the property has an enclosed garden with far-reaching views across open fields to the south and a path up to the main entrance. A flagstone entrance hall leads to the drawing room to the right, with a dual aspect and an open fireplace. To the left of the hall is the dining room, again with a dual aspect and an open fireplace. The entrance hall leads through a hallway to the rear of the property, where there is, to one side, a snug/family room with an adjacent bathroom. On the other side is the spacious breakfast room/kitchen with original flagstones, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, a pantry, and an oil-fired AGA. A secondary kitchen area provides additional cooking means, fitted units, and a double sink.
Beyond the kitchen is a functional utility area and boot room with access to the rear courtyard and a cloakroom. Stairs from the entrance hall lead down to a small cellar area and up to the first floor, where two principal double bedrooms to the front of the property enjoy far-reaching views to the south. There are a further three double bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom. There is a secondary staircase which leads down to the inner hallway. An enclosed staircase from the first-floor landing leads up to the attic space currently used as storage and has great potential to provide additional living space as per the approved planning permission.
Immediately to the rear of the main house, and sharing its sheltered courtyard area, is The Bothy, laid out over two levels and with its original bread oven. The current owners use this as additional utility storage, kids' space, and a stone shed. Adjacent to the house, enclosing the central courtyard, are several stone buildings that would have originally been haylofts, livestock buildings, stables, and an impressive double-height threshing barn with a dovecot. These buildings offer a purchaser various alternative uses (subject to planning and an overage).
The gardens to Bradshaws wrap around the property on three sides. To the front is a formal lawned area bordered by stone walls. Two discreet, beautifully private and sheltered openings lead into a stunning walled garden comprising a pleasant mix of gravel, lawn, and sunken seating areas, with espaliered trees creating walkways and established flower beds. The gardens and house extend to 0.5 acres, with the immediate courtyard to the west a further 0.4 acres.
To the East there are traditional stables and an extensive yard, which also includes two large agricultural steel framed portal barns. Beyond is the middle and rear yard. The middle yard has an enormous traditional red brick double-height traditional building. The yard to the rear has an extensive Dutch barn, a former livestock building, another livestock building, and an excellent modern farm building to the north adjoining the paddocks.
There is exceptional scope to develop the outbuildings, whether it is for further accommodation, home offices, stables, car storage, swimming pool, tennis/padel courts etc.
