An impressive six bedroom Georgian country house set within expansive, professionally landscaped gardens of about 1.74 acres.

Description

Church Lane Farmhouse is a stunning Georgian farmhouse which was constructed in 1782, and has been subject to an extensive and thorough restoration. The fantastically private house has been updated in recent years with full cosmetic refurbishment and a number of extensions, including a three-bay garage, conservatory, a snooker room, garden room, office and porch. The substantial home offers extensive accommodation of about 5800 sq ft and is elegantly decorated in a vibrant, country style, with all the expected modern conveniences.

The wide-ranging accommodation is arranged over three floors and extends to more than 5800 sq ft, including formal areas for entertaining, family rooms and ancillary rooms for storage. Highlights include the farmhouse kitchen, with its extensive cabinetry and beamed ceiling; the light-filled conservatory, with its views over the garden; and the cosy snug. Large family gatherings are made possible by the two generous reception rooms at the front of the house, and there is a snooker room to the side which is a great space for parties. There is potential to convert the room to the side of the property to an annexe for multi-generational living, subject to obtaining necessary consents. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a fantastic addition with its dressing room, en suite bath/shower room and private gym. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor and three on the second floor, with a family bathroom on each level. Above the garage there is a home office and cloakroom which is an ideal space for homeworking, and there is an additional garden office with beautiful views across open countryside.

Church Lane Farmhouse is situated within beautiful grounds of about 1.74 acres, including a paddock and gardens. The gardens are a highlight of the home, having been landscaped by multi-award-winning garden designer Adam Frost, seven times gold medal winner at the Chelsea Flower Show, who is known for his appearances on BBC Gardener’s World. The gardens are landscaped into formal lawns, box parterre, extensive terraces and paths, as well as kitchen gardens, and feature a variety of fruiting trees including pear, apple, plum, apricot, damson and cherry. There is ample parking on a private driveway and a triple-bay outbuilding with two garages and a central workshop.
