7 Bed Detached House For Sale

An iconic and substantial Grade II Listed farmhouse with a separate high quality two bedroom luxury annexe.

Laurel Farm is a substantial early 18th century farmhouse, with a history dating back to 1705 and possibly with earlier origins. It is an architecturally handsome home of impressive proportions that is rich in character, both externally and internally and fully deserving of the Grade II Listed status.

Along side the farmhouse, a separate barn has been converted to create a luxurious annex, suitable for extended or dependent family members, home working or as a valuable income generating opportunity.

The farmhouse has beautifully presented accommodation of scale and presence yet it feels really homely and is of manageable proportions. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to almost 4000 sq ft ( 371 sq m). There is ample, versatile space that can be adapted to suit individual requirements but in principle, it offers five living rooms, a study, fitted kitchen, utility room, five large bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are also useful cellars and attic space for storage.

The Drift Barn extends to over 1100 sq ft (108 sq m) and provides high quality accommodation with the layout including a large open plan lounge/dining room, kitchen, utility and cloakroom, two large double bedrooms, both en-suite.

The two buildings sit either side of a walled courtyard that provides ample parking and leads to a large garage with adjoining workshop and store room. There are large private South facing gardens extending to the rear of the farmhouse with patio areas and lawn. A further parking area is located to the rear and there is a detached garden studio/workshop.
