Set in formal gardens and retaining a wealth of character throughout, this is a beautiful home that provides excellent accommodation that is arranged over three floors (plus cellar) with many rooms enjoying views to the surrounding countryside. The oak front door opens into the sitting room with a door leading to an inner hall from which stairs climb to the first floor. There is also a dining room and at the rear of the house a wonderful farmhouse kitchen which has an Aga, plenty of fitted cupboards and drawers, as well as space for a large farmhouse table and sofas. The study is located off the kitchen, converted from what was a former dairy. There is also a utility, cloakroom and a wonderful oak framed garden room added in the last of couple years which connects the house into the garden superbly.
To the first floor set off a spacious landing are two double bedrooms at the front of the house and the main bathroom. To the rear and with windows overlooking the garden, is the principle bedroom suite, with bathroom and walk in wardrobe both with Velux windows.
The second floor has great adaptable space and can provide four further bedrooms (two interconnecting). The current owners have considered introducing an additional bathroom to this floor or the space can be used as a playroom or office.
Outside
The driveway belongs to Foldgate Farmhouse but is shared with the neighbouring property, a beautifully converted Grade II listed barn which has been laid out to maximise privacy to both properties. The open courtyard to the front is divided carefully with designated areas for parking for each property. There is scope for garaging / workshops to be created to the northern side of Foldgate Farm.(subject to planning and listed building consent)
Foldgate Farm has a generous plot that extends to just over one acre in total. The gardens are well laid out and have been a love of the current owners. They include a small Japanese stroll garden with acers, flowering cherries, ponds and waterfalls, created in 2008 by celebrated garden designer, Charles Cheshire. Dense and mature planting around the borders of the property provides a considerable degree of privacy.
We wish to advise interested parties that the orchard to the rear of Foldgate Farm will be developed into five bespoke houses in the near future and the surrounding fields are part of a larger development that has commenced, but as part of the approved scheme, great sensitivity was given to the layout and preserving the outlook from the property to the south and west, where the property looks out over the town towards the hills from the upper floors.
Services
Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage are connected. Gas fired Aga and central heating.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
