Property description

A Grade II listed stone-built six bedroom detached farmhouse with mature gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acres, with a double garage, workshop and outbuildings, situated in the village of Cogenhoe.

The property is over 300 years old and has been owned by the same family for more than fifty years. It retains character features throughout, including exposed timbers and fireplaces and has approximately 3,146 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation over three floors. The ground floor has a sitting room with an open fireplace, and a family room. The hub of the house is the main kitchen/dining and there is also a further kitchen/dining room, offering the potential to create an apartment for multi-generational living or just have extra space for entertaining. A utility/cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. Two staircases lead to the first floor. Stairs from the main kitchen lead to three bedrooms, an en suite cloakroom, and a bathroom, and secondary stairs from the playroom lead to a bedroom and adjoining shower room. The second floor has two further double bedrooms and a shower room.

Kitchen/Dining Rooms

The main kitchen has a range of units with complementary work surfaces and a one and a half bowl sink and drainer with a mixer tap. The matching island has additional storage and a breakfast bar. Appliances include a dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, an electric oven, and an induction hob with an extractor over. The dining area has an Inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove and space for a table and chairs and soft seating. The other kitchen/dining room has base units with dresser style shelves above, an Aga, and an additional oven. It provides an extra prep and dining space, for larger households or informal use.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room measures 15 ft. 9 by 15 ft. 1 and has an open fireplace, which creates a focal point in the room. It has dual aspect windows. The family room is also dual aspect with windows to the front and rear and has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers. There is exposed wood flooring, and a raised hearth with a log burning stove. It is a versatile room which could be used as a study or snug if required.

Outside

The property is set in approximately 0.5 acres of mature gardens, which wrap around the house, are principally laid to lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs, a knot garden and an ornamental pond. The double garage has an adjoining workshop and there is a detached shed, providing storage and potential for further use, subject to the necessary consents.
