Description

Ouseley Farm is a traditional period farmhouse which was purchased by the current owners about 30 years ago when it was in disrepair. They have continued to restore and update the property over this period creating a wonderful family home.

The house has a lovely welcoming feel, along with plenty of natural light flooding into many rooms and a wealth of original features including beams, period doors, extensive cellars, fireplaces and a black leaded grate range in the formal dining room. There is a wonderful mix of formal and informal rooms offering great spaces for entertaining and living.

A recent addition is the partially glazed extension off the kitchen, which was added in 2009. There is a sitting room with built in units, including a work area, glazed French doors opening on to the terrace and front gardens and a breakfast/dining area with glazed apex. This area offers fabulous open plan living which incorporates the superbly beamed kitchen where there is a two oven Rayburn, fitted units, a separate electric oven with hob, an integrated dishwasher and a microwave and a central island with granite worktop. There is also a useful pantry which has fitted shelves and space for a fridge/freezer. Off the kitchen is a versatile utility room which is spacious enough to also serve as a boot room and/or tack room with a back door leading outside to the garage and stone outbuildings.

The front door opens into a hallway with a partially exposed Minton tiled floor, off which is the formal drawing room which exudes elegance. This room is double aspect with a built-in oak cupboard, an open working fireplace and exposed beams, overlooking the south facing gardens. The hallway leads on to the dining room which has its original quarry tiled floor and working black leaded grate offering a delightful dining area for formal entertaining.

The main staircase rises to the first floor where there is an attractive stain glassed window, whilst the back stairs lead from the kitchen to the playroom and bedroom.

The principal bedroom has built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower, overlooking the gardens and orchard.

There is a further large double room with two built in wardrobes, view of the gardens and orchard and a separate family bathroom and a door leading through to the playroom/sitting room with built in storage cupboards. Located above the kitchen, this room could alternatively serve as a study.

Next to this is an attractively beamed double bedroom with views overlooking the stone outbuildings and a generous ensuite bathroom with shower and impressive views across the valley.

Another staircase leads to the second floor where there is a very spacious fourth bedroom with a large built in storage cupboard and extensive views towards the village and beyond. There is an additional double bedroom/office next door and a separate bathroom with bath and overhead shower.

Outside

Ouseley Farm is accessed by a long track, which is owned by the property, and opens onto a large gravel parking area off which are the formal gardens. As well as lawns, the gardens offer an array of colour with a number of well stocked beds incorporating shrubs, flowers and bulbs. There is an attractive orchard with a selection of mature fruit trees including apple, damson, cherry, plum and pear, a pretty greenhouse and a small vegetable garden.

The enclosed terrace is accessed directly from the kitchen extension and provides a superb outdoor entertaining and relaxation area, bordered with roses and clematis and ideal for a display of potted plants.

The outbuildings include a garage/workshop and a substantial traditional stone building within a gated yard, currently used as two stables and a tack room, with a feed room off, a small pony stall and loft above. Subject to the relevant planning permissions, this building and/or the garage could be suitable for conversion to offices or further accommodation.

There is a three bay separate steel framed portal shed, ideal for storage with access directly onto the paddocks. There is also separate access to the paddocks and equestrian arena via a track which Ouseley Farm has an informal right of way over. The arena is approximately 22m X 52m with a silica sand and rubber surface.
