The Property

Pool Farmhouse offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a 15th Century Grade II* listed rural residence with attached annexe and a variety of useful outbuildings set within approximately 2.75 acres. The property is believed to have been built in the early 15th Century and has been owned by the same family for the past 30 years.

Stepping through the front door of this historic farmhouse, you are welcomed into a warm and inviting reception room. The room is filled with character, boasting a large Inglenook fireplace, flagstone flooring and oak panelling, with a striking oak staircase to the side. Light streams through windows on both sides. A doorway leads to the spacious farmhouse kitchen / dining room, where handcrafted cabinets and wooden work surfaces sit harmoniously beside a large fireplace. The dining area features oak floors and a door that opens onto the garden.

From the entrance reception room, two doorways tucked within the oak panelling lead into a cosy additional sitting room with a window overlooking the front courtyard and a door leading to a separate utility / boot room which offers practicality, with a sink, drainer and space for a washing machine.

Beyond lies an inner hall, featuring oak flooring and a modern feel. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found on this wing. This hallway opens into an impressive reception room with a pitched ceiling and large glass windows, filling the space with natural light making it perfect for a studio, office or music room. Another handcrafted wooden staircase leads to a spacious area above, where exposed roof trusses and a galleried balustrade overlook the reception room below.

Stairs from the entrance reception room lead you up to the first floor accommodation. The principal bedroom boasts wooden floorboards, a large ensuite bathroom and a window framing views of the surrounding countryside. In addition to the principal bedroom another large bedroom reveals exposed beams and roof trusses and leads into another generous room with similar period features.

The Annexe

In addition to the main residence is an attached two bedroom annexe. The front door of the annexe opens into a welcoming hallway, leading to a convenient cloakroom, a cosy double bedroom, a single bedroom and a bathroom with white suite.

To the rear of the annexe, you will find a spacious kitchen / dining room, complete with wooden flooring and a range of fitted units, including a sink, drainer, oven and space for a fridge and dishwasher. The high ceilings and large windows fill the room with natural light, while a back door offers easy access to a separate driveway and
garden.

A staircase from the hallway leads to the first floor sitting room, an elegant and airy space with wooden flooring and a wood-burning stove. A large window frames picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. This stylish room offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.

Outside

A five-bar gate welcomes you into a spacious yard, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles. To the left is a single-storey outbuilding, ripe for conversion / renovation (subject to the necessary planning permissions), while opposite is a substantial detached workshop which has been home to a bespoke furniture business for the past 30 years. The workshop is a significant asset to Pool Farmhouse boasting 1800 sq.ft of useful and adaptable space. There is excellent potential for a variety of uses which could include a gym / office space or further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The gardens wrap around the house beautifully and feature a large patio, well stocked flower beds and mature fruit trees. Expansive lawns stretch out, offering excellent views. Behind the house lies a tranquil area of woodland. A further level lawn beyond the annexe offers additional space, which could be separated if desired. Altogether, the grounds extend to just over 2.75 acres.
