Description

Farmers Green is an outstanding Grade II listed property that has been recently renovated to an exceptional standard. The property has been meticulously renovated, reconfigured and interior designed by the award-winning Brownlow interiors team, resulting in a timelessly elegant and seamlessly beautiful home suited to contemporary lifestyles. Upgrades include hardwood doors and windows throughout, a Control4 home system featuring state-of-the-art lighting, underfloor heating, security systems and bespoke cabinetry by Brownlow Interiors. These stunning upgrades complement the property’s existing features, blending modern graceful design with period architecture.

The property is approached along a sweeping golden driveway leading to a turning area with space for several vehicles and access to a double garage and workshop/garden store to the rear. Attractive double doors open to a hall area. To the right of the hallway is the magnificent reception room, which has been reconfigured into a separate dining room and sitting room, creating a stunning living space.

The dining room is immaculately presented, featuring oak-beamed and strapped ceilings and a large stone fireplace with a 'living flame' dog grate. Porcelain tiles flow from this room into the picturesque double-aspect sitting room, capturing gardens views with French doors opening onto the patio. The sitting room leads into the bespoke fitted home office with a contemporary ground floor shower room. Leading off the home office is an additional reception room, currently used as a gymnasium but easily adaptable to a snug or additional bedroom, creating a useful annexe; French doors open this room onto the garden.

To the left of the hall lies the formal living room with wooden beams and a bespoke media unit. The living room leads into the superbly appointed triple-aspect living kitchen, beautifully designed by Brownlow interiors. The kitchen is timelessly attractive, with hand-painted in-frame units, marble leathered work surfaces and bespoke window seating, all arranged around a central island ideal for informal dining.

The open-plan living kitchen offers plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining, with access to the garden. Completing the ground floor are steps to the basement, currently used as a utility room.

The first-floor landing is spacious and charming, featuring window seating, wooden beams and plenty of natural lighting. The landing leads to four first-floor bedrooms, including the splendid principal suite with its spacious bedroom area, French doors opening to a covered balcony with views over the gardens and an indulgent en suite shower room.
