Description
Lockhill Farm commands an elevated, edge of village position with stunning views. The property is a delightful detached farmhouse of Hornton ironstone, render and timber clad construction. This house offers light bright contemporary accommodation with generous room proportions and high ceilings. The well-conceived layout allows accommodation to flow seamlessly around a central reception hall, lending itself to both family living and entertaining spaces. There is a large kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke DeVol kitchen units, granite work surfaces and electric oven, Smeg two ring electric hob, gas Aga and built in Neff dishwasher. Limestone floors sweep through the kitchen, family/dining room, reception hall and utility room. The family/dining room has high vaulted ceilings with glass doors leading out to the south facing garden terrace benefiting from the uninterrupted views of open countryside. The sitting room with Jotul Woodburning stove acts as the main focal point also benefiting the amazing south facing countryside views. The bedrooms are situated over two floors, the first floor has the principal bedroom with Juliet balcony, dressing room area, free standing bath and en suite shower room and bedrooms two and three with a family bathroom. The second floor consists of two further bedrooms (one is en suite) with one being used as an office.
The house has full planning permission, to increase the square footage for a two story side extension, single story rear extension, addition of new porch and outdoor swimming pool. Reference: 24/00964/FUL.
OUTSIDE
A generous self-contained modern barn with bedroom, shower room, kitchen and sitting/dining room, ideal for guests or dependants. In addition there is a home office/studio/ workshop, stabling, car port and storage. Lockhill Farm will have a right of way over the first section of the driveway. The driveway will then split with a new driveway creating access to Lockhill Farm.
At the front of the house is a Mediterranean stone garden. There are areas of lawn, a decked area for entertaining, a rose and honeysuckle arch opens to a gravel courtyard with herbaceous borders and BBQ area. Beyond is an orchard with apple, cherry and plum trees and vegetable garden. The
garden is sheltered from the north and west by a shelterbelt of native trees. The fields are fenced with boundary hedges and are laid to pasture, ideal for grazing. There is an abundance of mature trees and shelter belts, including oak, rowan, walnut, cherry and birch. There is also a 10 year old woodland area which includes many established trees. In all about 24 acres.
