Description
Commanding a central position in the village and within a Conservation Area, Church Farm is Grade II Listed and recorded as dating back to the mid-17th century.
The property is of local stone construction beneath a part pitch tile, part slate and part thatched roof, and has evolved over its history.
The accommodation incorporates the barn which is Grade II listed in its own right. The property successfully combines a wealth of period features with contemporary comforts. Features include large inglenook with former bread oven and copper still in situation, chamfered arch door way, stone mullioned windows, panelling, exposed timbers, flag stone flooring, window seats and shutters.
Crucial to the improvement works was the centrally positioned kitchen/breakfast/family room, the very core to family living, the very core to the house. The comprehensive restoration programme continued and included the creation of a light and airy reception hall and integration of the barn, itself providing a stunning drawing room with wood burner linked to the kitchen via the spacious dining room. At the other end of the house are more informal reception rooms including play room, games room and study, for working from home. The entire layout allows therefore for a large family to immerse themselves in spacious living on the ground floor plus guests can be entertained more formally at one end, whilst the family/children can be enjoying their time at the other. These well-conceived interconnecting reception spaces lend themselves perfectly therefore to entertaining and family living.
There is attention to detail throughout with installation of wood burning stoves, slate flooring, modern kitchen fittings with quartz tiling, quality decoration, carpeting, oak internal doors and partial double glazing.
Approached through wooden gates to a private gravelled courtyard, former farm buildings provide two garages, wood and tool stores. In addition is a workshop and stores with lapsed planning permission (10/02529/fu) and listed building consent (10/02590/lbc) to create a self contained annexe.
Manicured walled gardens with well stocked herbaceous boarders, yew hedging, fruit trees and outside entertaining areas. Separate gated vehicle access to side garden.
This is well appointed, spacious living, ideal for those looking to work from home, a growing family and those who might be looking for additional accommodation for income stream or dependent relatives. It is a real inspiration.
