Property description

A detached six bedroom Victorian farmhouse with over 3600 sqft. of living space situated within approximately 8 acres of grounds

Lower Farm House is located on a gated country road leading to six other country homes and has over 3,6000 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors. Built in the 19th-century, it retains many period features including high ceilings, sash windows, original panel doors and fireplaces. The property is approached via an entrance hall/snug which leads past a cloakroom to a hallway with the staircase. The hallway accesses a door to the rear and two formal reception rooms with fireplaces and bay windows overlooking lawned gardens. A further door opens to the dining area, with French doors to the patio, which is open plan to the kitchen/breakfast area. There is an adjacent utility room and walk-in pantry. Four double bedrooms and a family bathroom lead off the first floor landing. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and an en suite with a freestanding roll top bath. On the second floor are two further bedrooms with eaves storage and another area of loft storage.

Ground Floor

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room has a solid oak floor and a range of wooden units with granite work surfaces and ample room for a breakfast/dining table and a seating area. French doors open to the terrace overlooking the formal gardens. Off the kitchen is a walk-in larder and a utility room with a further sink. The sitting room has an open fireplace with a wood surround and a south facing bay window. The dual aspect family room has a matching bay window and twin windows on the west wall. Through the snug/entrance hall is an additional reception room currently used as a games room.

Bedrooms

Four double bedrooms lead off the first floor landing, two with dressing rooms and en suite shower or bathrooms, and there is a family bathroom. All the bathrooms, including the family bathroom, are fitted with white suites and two have Portuguese cork floors. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, one currently used as an office, and a nearly 30 ft. by 15 ft. loft area which could be converted to create further accommodation if required.

Outside

The property is accessed via a private gravel drive off a gated road and has parking for up to ten cars. The 8-acre plot is partly divided into gardens surrounding the house, which are mainly laid to lawn, with clipped hedges and mature trees and there is a paved patio seating area accessible from the French doors in the dining area. The rest of the land includes woodland, an orchard and paddock, and there is a natural pond.
