DESCRIPTION
A rare combination of peace, privacy and stunning outlooks with the opportunity to embrace a lifestyle seldom found in today’s modern world. The centrepiece to this rural smallholding is a beautifully presented 3-4 bedroom, period-style farmhouse built in 2004. The property as a whole has been subject to considerable investment by the current vendors to create a tranquil haven for all who visit.

THE FARMHOUSE
The farmhouse accommodation is illustrated on the floorplan and briefly comprises a showpiece kitchen with Aga, utility room, dining room, sitting room and study/bedroom 4. The ground floor is laid out to create a seamless space for entertaining overlooking the spectacular valley view. The first floor has 3 bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. The main bedroom suite has an en suite shower room with adjoining dressing room and both the main bedroom and Bedroom 3 enjoy private balconies to sit out on and enjoy the peaceful views.

THE COTTAGES
In addition to the farmhouse is Christmas Cottage, an unrestricted, fully furnished, luxury cottage with inverted, 2 bedroom accommodation, a private patio and hot tub. Sivel Cottage, a fully furnished 1 bedroom studio with a private patio area and hot tub, and WeTwo, a fully equipped Shepherd’s Hut overlooking pasture land with hot tub and covered seating area. All 3 ‘turn-key’ properties are successfully let via AirBNB with bookings for 2024.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from a quiet parish lane to a private tarmacadam drive which leads down to the farmhouse, cottages, large stable block/tractor shed with an enclosed workshop, two greenhouses and log store. The farmhouse is sited to overlook the peaceful valley and enjoy the breathtaking views over its adjacent land which enjoys colour throughout the year with a delightful mix of mature shrubs and trees including azaleas, palms and a monkey puzzle tree. The vendors have created a stunning covered platform to be used as an entertaining/outdoor dining space complete with woodburner. It enjoys open rural views across the valley and the most spectacular, restorative chance to observe the variety of wildlife that frequent the lower laurel area and woodland. Sivel Wood has approximately 13 acres of deciduous woodland where the vendors have created 2 circular walks to enjoy various areas of interest, including the workings of an 1857 former silver-lead mine. To the rear of the property is approximately 8 acres of well-fenced pasture paddocks, ideal for horses or a few head of young stock. The property in all extends to approximately 23 acres.
