6 bedroom detached house for sale

Spring Hill Farm House is situated outside the village, adjoining a stylish award-winning office park created from the former farm buildings.

Originally a cottage dating from the mid-1800s, the house was substantially extended in the 1980's and 2000. Further enhancements have since been undertaken. The house is full of character, built in stone and brick under a pantile and slate roof, with ledged and braced timber doors with wooden latches, deep window sills and has retained some of the original cottage
windows and doors and recessed lighting. With a large vaulted home office/study over 20 feet long, the property lends itself to a buyer who works from home, with a separate door to the courtyard where there is ample parking.

The triple aspect kitchen has a tiled floor, bespoke individually designed and crafted kitchen units with granite and wood tops, integrated appliances and a two-oven AGA and matching electric companion. The kitchen opens to the large breakfast room, which in turn leads to the sitting room with door to the garden and access to the staircase. The landing has a feature spiral staircase to the second floor and access to the railed roof terrace.

The principal bedroom suite has a dual-aspect bedroom expansive windows overlooking the patio and hazel bushes and an en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower.
