Bunces Farm is an unlisted country house coming to the market for the first time in nearly 40 years. This much loved family home offers enormous potential to create a wonderful family home on a stunning plot of just under 15 acres, with various outbuildings and fields.

Set in total seclusion, surrounded by its own grounds, the front door opens into a welcoming, generous entrance hall with a lovely oak staircase, from which a door leads through into a double aspect kitchen and breakfast room with a large panoramic window affording views across the garden. On the other side is a double aspect sitting room, a downstairs cloakroom and a utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is approached via a central staircase with three generous sized double bedrooms with a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. Leading up to the second floor are two additional bedrooms with eaves storage.

The house provides a wonderful opportunity to update and extend, subject to planning, to create a stunning family home in the heart of the countryside.

The property is approached from the lane via an entrance gate which leads through to the private driveway and up to the front of the house. There is a detached garage and parking for several vehicles. The driveway continues to the rear of the property where there are several outbuildings and fields.

The principal gardens lie to the rear of the house and have been beautifully landscaped and planted over the years with sweeping expanses of lawn, various seating areas and well stocked herbaceous borders. There is an orchard and various lawned areas all providing fabulous views across the grounds, all private and secluded.

The gardens, grounds and land at Bunces Farm provide a stunning tranquil setting for family life and entertaining, in all just under 15 acres.
