I have always favoured Georgian architecture for its timeless elegance and it's quite hard to find one in a quiet hamlet such as this one -- Sarah Holgate, Associate Director.

An impressive Grade II Listed Georgian farmhouse set in
delightful gardens of about 2 acres with outbuildings, paddock
and garden in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all set within this beautiful and much favoured hamlet.




A wonderful example of a fine Grade II listed
farmhouse offering generous and flexible living
accommodation set over two floors plus a useful
basement/cellar.
The Grade II listing is as follows:-
C18. Two storeys. Ground floor red brick and grey headers, above tile hung, hipped tiled roof with wooden eaves cornice, three sashes with glazing bars restored. Doorcase with pilasters, flat hood over and door of 6 moulded panels.
The house has been sympathetically updated over
the years retaining much of the existing charm and character throughout including high ceilings, open fireplaces, exposed beams, panelled doors and old floorboards.
There is a beautiful front door but the vendors prefer to use the rear utility room door as their entrance, as this is a useful boot room/utility with plenty of storage space for shoes and coats.
There is space/plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and a door into the kitchen.
The kitchen is a lovely light room being double aspect and fitted with a comprehensive range of Shaker style base cupboards including curved units and wall/display cupboards, granite work surfaces, ceramic sink, stainless steel oven, halogen hob and feature brick inglenook fireplace with inset oil fired Rayburn. There is ample space for a table and chairs. The study is opposite the kitchen again with plenty of natural light and a lovely outlook over the garden.
The sitting room is a generous size with feature
inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The
separate dining room is also a great entertaining space with feature open brick fireplace. The modern shower room compliments the ground floor living space. There are steps down to the cellar from the main entrance hallway.
This is a useful store and could easily provide further living space if required.
Upstairs is equally pleasing with galleried landing with beamed wall.
The master bedroom has a feature brick fireplace.
There are 3 further double bedrooms, another
with feature brick fireplace and bedroom 2 with
built in wardrobes. The 5th bedroom is a good size single bedroom with a connecting door into the 4th bedroom.
There is potential to add an ensuite here if required as next to this is the family bathroom with roll top bath, high level w.c and wash basin. All of the windows from the 1st floor enjoy some spectacular views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Outside
The property is approached via a private drive owned by the vendors with paddock to one side with pond and shelter/store extending to about 1.5 acres.
The house sits to the other side of the drive and
provides off road parking for several vehicles. The
well established gardens wrap around the house
and including some traditional planting, wide paved terrace, mature copper beech hedgerows, rose beds, greenhouse and raised vegetable beds and mature trees. There is also a good size workshop, a studio and shepherd’s hut (all with electric/light/power). The shepherd’s hut also has a cute wood burning stove”.
