Ground Floor

A welcoming reception hall leads to a large cloakroom and in turn a stunning dual aspect sitting room with deep fireplace housing a cast iron solid fuel burner. The generous dining room, also dual aspect, would easily accommodate large family gatherings and the farmhouse kitchen/breakfast/family area with lovely aspect over the gardens forms the hub of the house with pantry and boot room off.

First Floor

Twin staircases access the first floor, one off the reception hall, the other off the kitchen/breakfast room. Bedrooms one and two, both dual aspect and with en-suite facilities are accessed from the first staircase and make excellent guest rooms while the multi aspect third bedroom, off a large landing, has fine views and an adjacent bathroom is, perhaps, ideal as the principal suite.

Second Floor

The second floor bedrooms are both dual aspect with access from a large landing which could double up as an occasional bedroom, if required and there are useful wardrobe storage cupboards and a well appointed shower room.

Outside

Glebe Farm occupies a mature and secluded plot approaching 1 acre (subject to survey) fronting Wells Road and backing open farmland. Directly from the lane there is gravel covered hardstanding and a recently constructed double cart shed with potting shed attached. There is a large productive kitchen garden with raised beds and specimen fruit trees and a natural lawned area leads to an attractive terrace with access from the kitchen/family area. To the front of the property are more formal cottage gardens and to the rear areas set aside to wild flower borders with inset mature trees.

Outbuildings

A particular feature of Glebe Farm are the outbuildings which include the delightful studio barn conversion with mezzanine level, currently used as an artist's studio but suitable for a wide variety of potential uses and the large workshop/office converted from livestock sheds. In addition there are several storage and wood sheds.
