Grade II listed Georgian house ideally positioned in a tucked away location.

Description

This beautiful Grade II listed brick and flint house is thought to date back to about 1820 with later additions over the years. Nestled at the end of a long driveway and with a rural feel, Widmer Farm House enjoys a picturesque but accessible location with nearby local shops and open countryside on the doorstep. The accommodation is full of character with exposed beams, sash windows, latch doors, alongside attractive front and rear gardens, driveway parking and a garage.

Arranged over two floors the accommodation is versatile, full of nooks and crannies and interesting spaces. The front door opens into the reception hall which in turn leads into the kitchen/breakfast room with ample room for a table. The kitchen, overlooking the garden and with a door giving access, is well equipped with a good range of units complemented by wood worktops and integrated appliances. A cellar, ideal for storage, can be accessed from this room. Just off the kitchen is a cleverly arranged study/nook, boot room and a family shower room incorporating a laundry area. Across the hall are two spacious and characterful reception rooms. The dining room is arranged over two levels and enjoys a dual aspect. The adjacent sitting room is of excellent proportions and features an attractive inglenook fireplace with a wood burner.

The bedroom accommodation is on the first floor, accessed via stairs in the reception hall with four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Three of the bedrooms are generous and benefit from built-in wardrobes while the fourth bedroom is single in size or would be perfect as a nursery or study.

A long shared gravelled driveway leads to the pretty walled cottage garden fronting the property with a central garden path and well stocked herbaceous borders. The rear garden is predominately laid to lawn interspersed with a variety of mature trees. Bordering on woodland to the side and rear the garden is well enclosed and beautifully private. A large terrace spans the width of the house offering an ideal spot for entertaining family and friends. In addition is a workshop, storage shed and a single garage while another seating area gives further outside dining space.
