Description

Elm Farm House comprises an impressive and substantial period village house renovated to an exceptionally high standard. Elm Farm House is extensive at over 5,000 square feet. The accommodation is well-presented throughout with spacious and light-filled rooms.

Ground Floor
An arched panelled front door opens into an entrance vestibule and through a part glazed door into the reception hall with principal staircase to the first floor and doors to three principal reception rooms featuring wood burners, fireplaces, recessed alcoves, a fine bay with windows and French doors leading to the front garden. Off the end sitting room is a recessed kitchenette area and door through to the games/garden room with doors out to the gardens. There is a cloakroom with a shower and deep under stair cupboard. A side hall gives access to the study, breakfast/dining room and a secondary staircase. The kitchen is finished with marble worktops, shaker style units, several integral Neff appliances, glazed china cupboards and further matching units below. The boot room/utility has further matching units and stable door to the gardens, a further cloakroom with dog shower.

The first floor is approached via an elegant staircase leading onto a galleried with doors to five double bedrooms with built-in cupboards, fireplaces and attractive far reaching views. The principal bedroom has a bay window, ensuite bathroom and walk-in dressing cupboard.

The second floor has access to further rooms which lend themselves to a bedroom suite (no existing windows at the moment) with a store room/tank room beyond.

Outside
Elm Farm House is set back off a country lane approached via a five bar gate that opens onto the gravelled driveway. This leads past the front door to a parking and turning area. The drive then continues to the east, via a second entrance, where there is a right of way over the neighbouring farmer's access. The majority of the gardens and grounds are to the rear. Facing in a westerly direction, these enjoy the sun for the majority of the day, and comprise an extremely private area that is not overlooked. There are various fruit trees, box gardens and a raised terrace along with a timber framed deck/barbecue area, garden shed, greenhouse and vegetable beds. Beyond the garden is a small copse.

To one side of the house are a range of useful store rooms and a workshop.

The Coach House
This has been run as a successful holiday let and is wonderfully presented. The accommodation briefly comprises:

An open plan sitting/dining area with a wood burner, cloak/shower room and sliding door to a ground floor double bedroom. The kitchen has integral appliances, shakers style units, French doors leading out to the enclosed and private terrace garden. On the first floor is a galleried landing with two further bedrooms and a central bathroom.

In all, Elm Farm House extends to approximately 1.25 acres.
