Property description
The property is thought to date back to the 15th century and possibly even earlier and is of a heavy timber framed construction with painted rendered elevations beneath a peg tiled roof. In brief the accommodation comprises of reception hall, drawing room, dining room and sitting room with an inner hall/music room and study, a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, and two cloakrooms. On the first floor there are a total of five bedrooms, two of which have ensuite shower rooms, together with a family bathroom and additional family bath/shower room.
There is an entrance porch which gives way to the entrance hall with cloakroom. From the entrance hall there is access to the drawing room which has a window and glazed door overlooking the swimming pool and Inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The sitting room is heavily beamed with windows front and rear and there is a wide Inglenook fireplace with bressemer and wood burning stove. From the sitting room there is a lobby and inner hallway which gives access to the study, once again with exposed ceiling beams and a dual aspect dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room is a quite striking room with a beamed vaulted ceiling and an extensive range of handmade kitchen units from Figured Sycamore veneer. There is an extensive range of low level cupboards and wide self closing drawers under polished granite work surfaces with an inset one and a half bowl sink unit and mixer tap, there is an integrated Fisher & Paykel two drawer dishwasher, an integrated cooking range with a wide extractor filter over, larder fridge with cold water dispenser and wine chiller, microwave and Expresso coffee maker. There is a range of high level matching storage cupboards with under lighting and low voltage ceiling spotlighting and glazed door leading to garden, a seating and breakfast area with opaque glazed lit storage cupboard either side – all of which are beautifully finished off with a porcelain tiled floor and Italian marble effect mosaic wall tiling. From the kitchen there is a rear hallway/utility room and cloakroom/wetroom.
The landing gives way to five bedrooms, two of which have ensuite shower rooms and there are two family bathrooms serving the other three bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as a dressing room to the master bedroom but could easily revert back to a single room. At each end of the landing a family bathroom is found, both beautifully appointed. The smaller of the two, linked to the dressing room makes an excellent master suite, whilst the larger has both shower and bathing facilities.
Outside and Garden
Harvey’s Farm is situated in grounds of 6.5 acres and approached via a 400 yard long driveway which sweeps around the front of the house where there is ample off street parking and a double cart lodge.
The house stands in attractive landscaped gardens extending to about an acre and includes an outdoor heated swimming pool with garden/changing rooms. Beyond this is a less formal garden down to lawn and interspersed with trees and to the side there is an enclosed paddock. To the north and west of the house there is a range of traditional farm buildings with the potential (subject to local authority approval) for conversion to a self contained annexe, office or studio as required. There are are four purpose built agricultural barns which in total extend to over 5, 000 square feet giving potential for internal stabling or storage as required.
