5 bedroom farm house to rent

OVERVIEW Warren Farm House

Rolling patchwork fields surround this magnificent farmhouse that boasts a beautiful English country garden; the landlords' gardener maintains the borders, trees and shrubs in this delightful space and the cost of this has been included within the rent.

The oldest part of the home dates back to the 16th century, therefore the home carries countless striking features that exhibit its quintessential olde-worlde charm.

There is potential for access to a double garage, stable and grazing on a half-acre paddock adjacent to the house, by separate agreement with the farm owner.

The home at a glance

From every angle, Warren Farm House is a truly spectacular property. The rooms inside the country home all display spectacular views – either of the lovely gardens or the surrounding boundless countryside.

The property is situated on a quiet country lane, with no other houses nearby.

An expansive driveway leads through the beautiful front gardens to the home and the main entrance is sheltered underneath a canopied porch. This leads into the reception hall – an area which gives an excellent first impression of the home; the vaulted ceiling gives a tremendous sense of space and there are many lovely features to delight the eye - such as a flagstone floor, exposed timber frames, a natural stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, and ceiling trusses.

The sitting room also features a wood-burning stove which is housed within a grand brick fireplace, and this has two alcoves to store logs. There are exposed timber frames on all sides of the room and there is one especially exquisite detail – a framed piece of the original structure of the home when it was built using wattle and daub.

The dining room is another elegant reception room; the space has a lovely hardwood floor, exposed beams and timber frames, as well as another remarkable stone fireplace which houses an open fire. The window to the right of this looks out to the front garden and is aligned in such a way to perfectly display the symmetry of the hedge archways.

The centre-piece of the beautifully bright country kitchen is the Aga - a cooker which is renowned for its durability and quality. There is also a pitched ceiling with skylights, as well as exposed beams, timber frames and an exposed red sandstone wall which has ornate candle-stick holders – and all of these details offer exquisite focal points. The kitchen also includes a conventional oven and induction hob with an extractor fan, as well as a dishwasher and sink, plenty of floor and eye-level cupboards, and space for an under-counter fridge.

The kitchen window looks out to a courtyard to the side of the house and, as this is all enclosed, it could serve as an excellent spot to let dogs out to exercise. In addition, there is a large office room accessed via the kitchen.

There is a separate utility room at the far end of the kitchen which gives space and plumbing for a washing machine and there are more storage cupboards as well as an additional sink.

A door from the kitchen, next to the Aga, leads through into the cider press room which offers a wealth of storage space around an incredible antique cider press. In addition, accessed from the cider press room there is a log shed which can be used for additional storage.

The ground floor of the property also has a cloakroom, complete with a hand basin and WC, and this is tucked away beyond the reception hall.

A staircase in the reception hall leads up to the first level of the property, which is split into two wings. One side leads to two of the bedrooms, as well as the family bathroom and the other side leads to a further two double bedrooms both ensuite. Much like the reception rooms, the bedrooms all carry classically beautiful features such as exposed beams and timber frames. The largest of these bedrooms also includes a vintage cast iron fireplace, an ensuite shower room with shower enclosure, and a substantial amount of built-in storage. There is another antique fireplace placed within the hallway leading between each of these bedrooms and the family bathroom – complete with a bath with shower fitting, WC and hand basin - is also found in this section of the property.

Another bedroom is tucked away in the second wing of the first floor. This extremely attractive, dual-aspect room also carries magnificent timber frames and another beautiful fireplace.

A flight of stairs next to this room leads to the attic rooms. This area of the home has a vaulted ceiling as well as exposed beams. It houses two large rooms as well as a shower room. A window out to a magnificent view of the typical English country garden at the front of the property, as well as the rolling fields beyond.

Gardens

The main gardens, with the exception of the lawns which are the responsibility of the tenant, are looked after by the owners' gardener for the residents to enjoy. There is a secret garden surrounded by yew hedging, kitchen/children's play area, stone built tool shed/outbuilding, extensive herb garden, mature shrubs and trees including walnut and mulberry.

Outside the kitchen entrance there is an enclosed kitchen garden and greenhouse which would be ideal for growing vegetables, cut flowers, or to store pot plants; note that maintenance of the kitchen garden will be the responsibility of the tenant.
