5 bedroom detached house for sale

Superb family home with attractive grounds of about 3.9 acres.

Description

Corner Farm is a superb red brick, detached, period farmhouse, set within about 3.9 acres of beautiful grounds, with a useful Dutch barn.

The heart of the house is believed to date from the 1860s, with later additions to create a remarkably comfortable family home, presented in immaculate condition. Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well, comprising wonderfully proportioned and light-filled rooms.

A porch leads to the front door, which opens into a generous reception hall with doors leading to the open plan kitchen/dining room, sitting room, study and boot room; stairs lead up to the first floor bedroom accommodation.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room is flooded with natural light from south-west facing windows and bi-folding doors, which lead out to the terrace. This capacious space is presently used as three zones: the kitchen, dining area, and an informal sitting room, with a wood-burning stove.

The kitchen offers ample storage, integrated Neff double oven, an induction hob, integrated dishwasher, double sink and island unit. Doors at each end lead to the utility and double aspect family room respectively.

Within the original Victorian part of the house, the elegantly proportioned sitting room has a handsome chimneypiece with an inset wood burning stove, and sash windows. A door leads to a useful ground floor bedroom, which could be used as an additional reception room.

Completing the ground floor is the study with bespoke, hand made fitted bookshelves and storage; and the boot room, which provides ample storage for coats and boots (ideal for country walks); beyond the boot room is a cloakroom.

There are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The spacious principal bedroom is especially handsome, with two Juliet balconies overlooking the grounds, and an en suite.

Corner Farm sits within about 3.9 acres of delightful grounds, with areas of formal lawn and long grasses to encourage wildlife.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a generous south-west facing terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, with shrub and herbaceous borders, and a pond.

This leads to a formal lawn with an array of mature and specimen trees. The majority of the land has been left to long grasses - a haven for wildlife - with mown paths meandering through them.

There is a substantial Dutch barn with photovoltaic solar panels and a greenhouse. The grounds are fenced and dog-proof.

Corner Farm has extensive parking for numerous cars and a garage. EV charging is available at the property.
