This delightful Farmhouse extends to approximately 3,323 sq ft and blends traditional charm with modern finishes. The property has been carefully extended and upgraded, providing flexible family accommodation across three floors and offering scope for further enhancement. The sale of this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and stylish country home in a highly sought after semi-rural location.

Set well back from the road behind electric gates the property is approached via an expansive block paved driveway, with plenty of space for parking nestled in a substantial and private plot. An enclosed front porch opens into a welcoming central hallway, finished with solid white ash flooring which flows through much of the ground floor. The principal living accommodation is arranged across a series of generously proportioned and beautifully appointed rooms.

The stunning dining kitchen enjoys a dual-aspect and is designed with bespoke, hand-painted shaker cabinetry, a contrasting granite and hardwood island, inset Belfast sink and a suite of integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher, wine fridge, gas Aga and a further range of quality appliances. The open plan kitchen is beautifully appointed around a central island for informal dining. Oak-framed bi-folding doors open directly onto a rear terrace, framing the views over the south-facing garden and paddock beyond.

To the rear of the kitchen lies a well-appointed utility/boot room with access to the garden. Adjacent is a guest cloakroom/WC. The extended rear of the property also includes a superbly flexible family/cinema/games room, featuring ambient lighting, two sets of French doors with electric blinds, and a luxurious adjoining shower room. This wing also incorporates a fifth bedroom or study, offering potential to function as an independent annexe for guests or multi-generational living. Competing the downstairs accommodation is a formal dining room with windows to three aspects and a WC.

A wide staircase leads to a spacious first floor landing, where oak-framed windows bathe the hallway in natural light. The principal bedroom suite is a serene and indulgent retreat, with dual-aspect views, a walk-in dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and a newly appointed en suite wet room with premium Hansgrohe and Axor fixtures, underfloor heating, and sleek contemporary tiling. The second bedroom suite also benefits from an en suite bathroom. The third bedroom is served by a beautifully finished family bathroom with freestanding bath and classic detailing. The second floor offers an additional double bedroom with Velux roof windows and its own en suite shower/wet room ideal as a private guest suite or studio.

Externally the gardens are a true highlight of this property. The formal front gardens are meticulously landscaped with topiary, specimen planting and mature trees, while to the rear, a porcelain stone terrace provides wonderful space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The rear garden/paddock is bordered by established hedgerows, fruit trees and perennial beds, creating a tranquil and secluded atmosphere. There is also a stable block with three loose boxes, light, power and water adds to the appeal for buyers seeking equestrian facilities. The grounds are enclosed and private, offering far-reaching views over protected greenbelt countryside.
