The property
Home Farm is a fine Grade II Listed farmhouse with an outbuilding, both dating from the late 18th century. The house features splendid brick elevations and a wealth of attractive original features including large sash windows, exposed timber beams and original fireplaces.

There are three comfortable reception rooms of similar proportions at the front of the ground floor. These include the sitting room with its logburner, the formal dining room and the impressive drawing room boasting a central log burner and triple aspect, including French doors opening onto the rear garden. Towards the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen features brick flooring, bespoke wooden cabinetry, integrated appliances and space for a breakfast table, while the utility room and cellar provide space for further storage and appliances.

Arranged over the first and second floor are six double bedrooms plus a useful study. There are two family bathrooms and a separate WC.

Outside
Access to the property is via the gravel driveway, which provides plenty of parking space in front of the large brick-built outbuilding. The outbuilding has Grade II Listed status along with the house and totals more than 3,500 sq. ft of storage space, which offers significant potential for development, subject to the necessary consents. The garden surrounding the house is extensive and includes rolling lawns, a wealth of established shrubs, hedgerows and trees and areas of paved and gravel terracing for al fresco dining. There is also a wooded area and a grassy meadow beyond the main garden, creating a peaceful, secluded environment in which to relax. In total the gardens and ground extend to about 2.4 acres.
