Encompassing approximately 6 acres of grounds that include two enclosed paddocks, this exceptional four bedroomed residence is beautifully appointed for family living, accompanied by the serenity of a rural setting. The property is also sold with the benefit of granted planning permission to convert detached barns into two, four bedroomed residential dwellings.

Standing on the site of a historic farmhouse, which is believed to date back over 100 years, the property was rebuilt in 2010 to form a liveable dwelling. Fully completed within the last four years by the current owners, Dance Lane Farm provides stunning accommodation that exudes a wealth of character and charm. With under floor heating to two floors and air source heat pumps serving the home, Dance Lane Farm has been cleverly adapted to offer modern conveniences.

Welcoming you into the home is a covered oak/stone canopy that juxtaposes the textured stone of the building and has a hardwood glazed door opening to the entrance hall. A generously proportioned lounge features a picture window that perfectly frames the far-reaching views to the North, and a dual aspect log burner sitting beneath a stone mantel. Moving through to the breakfast kitchen, this is an outstanding part of the home that showcases quality, a central island and a four-oven Aga.
