Rokeby Close Farm is a substantial stone-built farmhouse offering over 3,800 sq ft of beautifully modernised accommodation that combines period character with contemporary luxury.

The reception hall makes an impressive entrance, featuring conservatory-style panoramic glazing, parquet flooring and a galleried first-floor landing. From here, a squared arch leads into the elegant dining room, which features painted ceiling beams and a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Double doors open into the south-facing sunroom – a light-filled space designed for year-round enjoyment.

The open-plan kitchen/living room is ideal for entertaining and family living, with a central fireplace and log-burning stove, exposed stonework, and garden views. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, a split butler sink, dishwasher, under the counter fridge, a Falcon range cooker and gas hob. A well-equipped utility room provides an additional fridge-freezer, storage and appliance space.

The elegant drawing room features another log-burning stove and enjoys triple-aspect views across the surrounding countryside. A separate gym area includes a sauna and shower room, creating a luxurious private wellness space.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to four spacious double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The principal suite includes a stylish en suite bathroom with freestanding tub and walk-in shower, while one further bedroom features an en suite bathroom, and two others benefit from en suite shower rooms.

Rokeby Close Farm is accessed via a gravel driveway with ample parking and an integrated double garage. The landscaped gardens are mainly laid to lawn and dotted with mature trees. To the rear, the land gently slopes down to a beautiful spring-fed lake of approximately 3 acres - recently enhanced for fishing and wildlife conservation. It is stocked with a range of coarse fish, including large Common and Mirror Carp, Tench, Rudd, Roach, and more.

The lake also features widened paths and areas for sitting and observing nature. The setting is a haven for wildlife, regularly attracting oyster catchers, ducks, moorhens, geese, and other native species. A summer house and hot tub area provide a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

In addition, a stone-built barn with an adjacent 0.25-acre paddock makes Rokeby the ideal equestrian facility if so desired, as well as further scope for development (subject to planning consents). There is also a secure 30x60ft chicken coop-fully fenced and versatile in it's potential use.
