4 bedroom detached house for sale

* VIEW OUR VIDEO TOUR * A FINE EXAMPLE OF A FORMER VICTORIAN FARMHOUSE WITH ELEGANT AND WELL PROPORTIONED ROOMS HAVING BEEN RESTORED WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND INTERIOR DESIGN.

Ivy Farm has been the subject of a very sympathetic and quality restoration cleverly combing the features of old with the essential modern open plan kitchen family space which form the heart of the house. Attention to detail includes tall corniced ceilings, period style radiators, light fittings and switches, original fireplaces along with modern benefits of zoned underfloor heating and double-glazed sash windows.

A particular feature of the property is the imaginative extension which now provides a 13.5m (39ft) kitchen/dining and family living area with a lantern roof light and bi-folding doors which open to the garden. This also includes a quality kitchen from the renowned company Sebastian Cox by deVol. Highlights include twin copper sinks, brass taps, copper and silestone worktops, a bespoke colour range cooker and an excellent walk-in shelved pantry providing a huge amount of storage. Further living space includes a formal sitting room, study which could be used as a fourth bedroom, cloakroom and a much larger than average and very useful utility room for every day needs.

The accommodation is equally spacious upstairs having three excellent size double bedrooms, the principal bedroom having an ensuite and a spacious family bath and shower room. These echo the flair of the presentation with quality sanitaryware finished in white with heritage fittings and complimentary tiling and panelling.

Outside there is a private gated driveway with parking for five to six cars and an open fronted barn providing covered parking for two further vehicles. A further enclosed and double height barn offers excellent size and secure storage facilities. Finally, the rear garden enjoys open views over countryside and a full width sandstone patio spans the rear of the house which has well-kept lawns and borders.

A VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY ON OFFER AT IVY FARM.
