A Rare Opportunity to Own a Charming Edwardian Farmhouse with Stunning Grounds and Endless Potential

Step into the past while enjoying modern comforts with this exquisite red brick Edwardian farmhouse, originally built in 1903 and situated on a private acre of malleable grounds. Spanning just under 4,000 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation, this handsome property is steeped in character, offering the perfect blend of history, charm, and modern necessities.

In recent years, the current owners have made significant enhancements to improve efficiency and sustainability. Nearly all the windows have been replaced with uPVC double glazing, solar panels have been thoughtfully installed in the garden, reducing energy costs, and an air-source heat pump has been fitted for central heating. Additionally, the internal walls have been insulated, ensuring the home is warm and comfortable all year round.

Ground Floor:
Upon entering, you’re greeted by a bright and welcoming reception hall, complete with a cozy wood-burning stove and access to the side garden via sliding doors. The spacious sitting room with a charming bay window and fireplace, opens into a garden room– a perfect space for entertaining and creating lasting memories. A second reception room offers flexibility as a formal dining room, playroom, or even a home office. The breakfast room and kitchen provide a warm and functional heart to the home, complemented by a pantry, utility room, and convenient gardener’s WC. A cloakroom, storeroom, and access to the cellar round off the ground floor.

First Floor:
Two staircases lead to the first floor, where you’ll find four double bedrooms and two single bedrooms, each brimming with character, many featuring original fireplaces and fitted washbasins. The bedrooms offer a mix of garden and countryside views, providing a peaceful retreat for all. The first floor also includes two bathrooms, a separate cloakroom, and plenty of storage options.

Second Floor:
The second floor offers an additional two double bedrooms, a storeroom, and access to the attic – ideal for creating a playroom, studio, or additional living space.

Outdoor Space:
Approached via a private lane, the property features a five-bar timber gate leading to a generous parking area with space for at least six vehicles, as well as room for a boat, caravan, or motorhome. The beautifully maintained gardens, mostly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees, shrubs, and a tranquil pond, provide a serene environment with endless possibilities. A range of outbuildings offers space for storage or hobbies, and the grounds, which extend to approximately 0.9 acre, enjoy a sunny aspect and a high degree of privacy.
