Stunning period home with barn, hot tub, gym and garaging. Set in a pretty village on the edges of open countryside.

Description

Bowling Green Farm is steeped in history being Grade II listed and believed to date back in parts to the 15th century.

The house has been meticulously maintained and updated over the years by our clients to provide a wonderful family living environment which connects the living areas with the wrap around gardens, which are private and secluded.

Set behind a gated frontage the driveway opens up to provide parking for numerous cars leading to the garage. The entrance hallway gives access to kitchen / family room, study and guest cloakroom. Towards the rear of the house, the living room connects with a sitting room at the rear with both of these spaces enjoying open fireplaces. Throughout the house there are lots of period details such as wooden floors, beaming and stock brickwork. Completing the ground floor is the open plan kitchen / dining / family room providing the hub of family living with bi fold doors onto the garden. There is a utility room just off here.

Moving upstairs, there are five bedrooms, with the main bedroom suite enjoying a dressing room and en suite shower room as well as a balcony overlooking the gardens. The four remaining bedrooms have use of a family shower room and additional bathroom.

Outside, the house sits in the middle of a plot that extends to just under 0.42 acres, with mature gardens wrapping around the house. There is an extensive patio with a hot tub and summer house / gym just across the lawn. The barn to the front of the plot could work really well as a party space or even a self contained annex - subject to renewing an existing planning approval which was granted in the past.
