The remaining bedrooms can be arranged as further king sized rooms, giving flexibility for children, guests or a home office. The layout supports a variety of living arrangements, whether for a growing family, multi-generational living or those who regularly host visitors.

There are two bathrooms serving the house (one on each floor), presented in a modern, clean style. One features a contemporary monochrome scheme with patterned flooring, tiled walls and white sanitaryware, including a bath with shower over. The ground floor shower room seconds as a guest cloakroom and is accessed from the utility.

A standout feature of this farmhouse is the large cellar beneath the main accommodation. With its impressive brick vaulting and generous proportions, it provides ideal conditions for keeping a wine collection. Beyond storage, the space offers clear potential, subject to any necessary consents, to be transformed into a cinema room, gym, hobby room or games room. This underlines the property’s scope for buyers who wish to tailor the home to their particular lifestyle.

Externally, the farmhouse occupies a large plot with expansive rear and side gardens. Lawned areas are interspersed with mature trees and established planting, giving the garden a green and private feel. There is ample room for outdoor seating, children’s play equipment, vegetable beds or further landscaping projects. The size of the plot makes it well suited to those seeking more space than typically available in urban settings, whether for gardening, outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying a more open outlook.

Complementing the main house are barn spaces and outbuildings that present further scope for expansion, again subject to planning and consents. These structures offer potential for additional accommodation, home offices, workshops or studios, depending on a buyer’s requirements. A secondary kitchen has already been installed to create a hosting kitchen for the garden and courtyard. This would be ideal for a home baker, or for courtyard / garden parties.The existing hard landscaping around the barns provides practical access and low-maintenance external areas, supporting a wide range of future uses.
