Fox Farm Barn is a beautiful, detached stone-built house with adjoining guest annexe, both of which have been creatively refurbished (including complete re-wiring, re-plumbing and a whole new heating system) and extended by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard. Most properties have a wow factor, but Fox Barn Farm seems to have more than one! Whether it be the stunning contemporary extension to the kitchen / living room, or the stunning gardens, or the sublime setting and views.

The welcoming entrance hall leads into the large open plan kitchen / living areas, which is not only a stand out feature of this house, but clearly the heart and soul. The kitchen is fitted in a farmhouse style with exposed stone work to one wall, and appliances include a gas range cooker, a dishwasher and an double fronted fridge / freezer. French doors open to the terrace and the views across the garden and beyond are glorious.

The living / dining room is open plan to the kitchen and features wall to wall glazed doors, which open onto the wrap around terrace and gardens beyond. Two further reception rooms include a study, and a snug / tv room with wood-burning stove set in a fire recess.

The first floor offers the main bedroom, with fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room, and superb rural views, and a further two double bedrooms, again both with wonderful views, and a family bathroom with bath and shower.

Adjoining Fox Farm Barn is Badger's Den, a lovely self-contained annexe with fitted kitchen, shower room and an open plan bedroom / sitting room. Badger's Den benefits from its own private entrance, parking to the front for one car and a small outside terrace area.

Gardens

The grounds at Fox Farm Barn extend to 19 acres and include paddocks, an orchard, woodland, and gardens. The gardens are simply delightful, being largely laid to lawn, and enclosed with mature hedging and post and rail fencing. There is a double fronted summerhouse, and a large wrap around stone terrace which leads off the kitchen and living areas, and provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining, with the surrounding countryside providing an idyllic backdrop. The beds and borders have been beautifully planted and provide an array of colour in the spring and summer months. The driveway is part gravel and part hardstanding and provides parking and access to the garage. In addition is the orchard, which can also accommodate several vehicles and boats.

Services
Oil central heating to radiators and in part under floor heating, LPG cooking range, mains water, private drainage, mains electricity.
