The Property 
The Farmhouse is an impressive, stone-built traditional house boasting a rich history dating as far back as the 1700s. The property’s exterior presents very well, showcasing a traditional and timeless stone façade with a classic red pantile roof. The Farmhouse has been sympathetically updated to a high standard, featuring stylish, modern interiors accented by attractive period features. 

Inside, the main living areas have been thoughtfully designed to create a modern and inviting home. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the central hallway, continuing into the study and main sitting room, where a gas fire and exposed stone feature wall foster an inviting ambience. 

The kitchen, originally a dairy, is bespoke and beautifully appointed, featuring a range master, American-style fridge-freezer, Belfast sink, slate flooring, a central kitchen island, and an original period open fireplace serving as an impressive focal point. French doors lead to an outdoor seating area, overlooking the mature garden. Adjoining the kitchen are a WC, utility room, and spacious dining room, which also features a gas fire. 

A galleried landing introduces the first floor, where a wood-burner set within a period fireplace provides a warm and charming touch. The spacious principal bedroom includes built-in storage and a modern ensuite with a walk-in rainfall shower. A high-specification main bathroom, equipped with a seated steam shower, large standalone bathtub, twin sinks, and towel radiators, services the three additional bedrooms.  

Wifi routers have been hard-wired into every room throughout the house, ensuring persistent connectivity in every room. 

The scope of the loft, almost 1500 square feet with a huge stone wall dividing the space, offers significant potential for a spacious conversion. 

Externally 
The property is accessed via a long, private gravelled driveway, providing ample off-road parking.

The Farmhouse’s garden is a private retreat, with delightful mature trees and shrubs encircling the central lawn. Several outdoor seating areas feature, illuminated by exterior lighting. CCTV monitors the exteriors of the house, providing additional security.

The expansive rear garden features a pristine, well-maintained lawn and includes a spacious outbuilding that provides versatile additional space. Currently used as a stylish games room, but easily adaptable to suit individual needs.

Beyond the existing property, there is substantial potential for further development. Although the previous planning permission for two detached houses of 2,000 square feet each has lapsed, a new planning application has been submitted and is expected to be approved as a formality. Additionally, it has been suggested that the application could be revised to permit a significantly larger single dwelling of approximately 3,500 square feet.
