Description - Set within beautifully maintained grounds, this delightful four-bedroom farmhouse with additional one bedroom annexe offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and modern country living. Surrounded by mature trees, flowering borders, and expansive lawns, the property enjoys exceptional privacy in a tranquil setting.

Accommodation - The ground floor of this impressive property offers a wealth of generously proportioned living space, thoughtfully designed for both family life and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a large, country-style kitchen featuring an AGA and room for a breakfast table—ideal for relaxed family dining. A separate utility and boot room at the far end of the home provides practical access to one of the parking areas and offers additional storage and laundry facilities.

The formal sitting room is a standout feature, with unique Fleur De Lys on the ceiling usually seen in stately homes and elegant proportions, a central fireplace, and views over the gardens—perfect for hosting guests or unwinding in comfort. A separate dining room offers a refined space for more formal occasions, while a cosy snug accessed from the kitchen provides an inviting spot to relax with a book or enjoy quiet evenings admiring the views.

An additional living room in the Victorian extension adds flexibility, creating the perfect space for a playroom/family room or informal sitting room. A dedicated study accessed via this live space offers a quiet and private area for home working or study. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a downstairs W/C.

On the first floor the spacious master bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite bathroom.

There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor providing comfortable accommodation for family or guests, each enjoying charming views and their own basin. A contemporary family shower room completes the accommodation on this floor.

On the top floor you find a deceptively spacious fourth double bedroom.

Outside the gardens and surrounding landscape offer a rare sense of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. The sweeping lawns are interspersed with a variety of mature trees, creating a parkland-style setting that blends seamlessly into more traditional gardens with two patio areas to choose from. The expansive outdoor space is ideal for a range of uses, from family recreation and gardening to outdoor pursuits (subject to landlord approval)

Nestled within the stunning gardens, you find a modern cart lodge/garage which has been built in a traditional style. Above this there is a self-contained studio/one-bedroom annexe with modern shower room offering versatile accommodation ideal for guests or even as a home office. With a sense of privacy from the main house, this thoughtfully designed space combines comfort, practicality, and flexibility, making it an excellent addition to the property. The tenant would benefit from access to the two covered parking spaces in the cart lodge along with a garage.

Finally the elegant driveway crossing over the river provides generous parking at both the front and rear of the house, offering convenience for multiple vehicles as well as easy access to the main residence and cart lodge/annexe.

The property is heated via oil fired central heating. It has an EPC rating E.
