Offered with no onward chain Southlands Farm occupies a desirable position on the outskirts of this sought after village. Secured behind electric gates and with CCTV, this magnificent property presents around 5,500 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation set in 3 acres with south facing gardens and adjoining paddock.

Entering the property, the sweeping dual entrance gravel driveways lead to a block set parking area in front of the detached triple garage building. The house is fronted by private landscaped gardens and lawns which then extend onto an open 2 acre paddock. A further 8 acre gated field beyond is available for purchase by separate negotiation which could be ideal for those with equestrian interests. With the second gated entrance there is access for potential development of an additional dwelling for dependent relatives, subject to the usual consents, or a significant leisure suite if desired.

The house with under floor heating throughout opens via an entrance porch to a most impressive reception hall with French stone flagged floor and bespoke staircase ascending to the galleried landing above. Opening from the reception hall double doors lead into a fabulous 31 ft. sitting room which is arranged around a feature fireplace and opens out through twin sets of French doors to a south facing sun terrace. Leading from the reception hall the stone flagged floor extends through to the formal 10 seater dining room which is looked onto by the separate wine room. Adjoining the dining room, the sociable kitchen presents shaker style units including the large central island, with a combination of granite and Iroko wood surfaces. The high specification appliances include a Miele oven, microwave and coffee machine, top of the range Miele master cool fridge freezer and a four oven Aga. There is space for family dining, and bi-folding doors open out to the perfectly private, continental style courtyard which is ideal for outdoor entertaining.

Adjoining the kitchen there is a generous separate utility room with practical entrance leading in from the courtyard. The sun room with large picture window looking over the gardens and land provides a flexible living space which could alternatively be used as a gym or an additional bedroom having an adjoining shower room. Further living space can be found leading off from the reception hall where there is a cosy snug with vaulted ceiling that extends through to the large home office that opens out to the garden through double doors.

To the first floor the large galleried landing branches to a principal bedroom suite that includes a separate dressing room with fitted wardrobes and bathroom with twin basins and large walk-in shower. There are three further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, a single bedroom / study and a house bathroom that benefits from having a bathtub and large walk-in shower.
