Description - Whites Farm is a charming and spacious period farmhouse set within 7.25 acres, offering a wealth of character, beautiful gardens, extensive outbuildings, stables, and a separate two-bedroom cottage—perfect for multigenerational living or holiday lets. This impressive stone-built farmhouse has been lovingly updated, retaining exposed beams, original fireplaces, and period charm throughout. It offers spacious and flexible accommodation with the potential to divide into two independent dwellings.

Accommodation - To the ground floor an entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor and leads, on one side, to an elegant and generously sized, double-aspect sitting room with marble fireplace, wood-burning stove and to the other side a family room with stone fireplace and beamed ceiling. A couple of steps lead up to the large kitchen/breakfast room with fireplace, bespoke units, quarry-tiled floor, oil-fired AGA and beamed ceilings. There is also a boot room, utility room, study and two cloakrooms on this level.

To the first floor there are six double bedrooms in total, the triple aspect master being particularly spacious, (and having a second staircase which rises from the kitchen/breakfast room so it could equally be used as further living space if desired), and two bathrooms, one with bath and one with bath and shower.

Accessed via its own garden and entrance consists of two double bedrooms, shower room with wc, and open-plan kitchen/living/dining area.
