House For Sale £675,000
Oak Farm is a large 4 bedroom family house, originally built as an 18th Century coaching inn, known as the Royal Oak, extended and converted in the 1930's then further renovated by the current owners to create a wonderful family home.
On arriving through the large farmer’s porch and heavy hardwood front door, you enter the original part of the house; a warm and welcoming entrance hall / dining room, with original oak beams, hardwood floor and traditional oak mantelpiece, over a wood burning stove. Leading off this central hub can be found the spacious family kitchen, with central island, oak floor and cabinets and granite work surface. There is separate utility room and cloakroom wc, with marble flooring, off the dining room, as well as a pantry and boot room. To the rear of the house is a spacious sitting room with fireplace and wood burning stove as well as a separate snug area. There is also a recently erected orangery with limestone floor, glass lantern and bi-folding doors out to the rear patio and garden.
Ascending the oak staircase, the first floor landing leads to all upstairs rooms with pitch pine floorboards throughout. The west-facing principal bedroom located to the rear of the house is naturally light and spacious benefitting from an en-suite bathroom with separate shower and limestone tiles flooring, fitted wardrobes and a private balcony giving more fantastic views of the countryside on your doorstep. Across the landing is a large double bedroom to the front of the house with built in wardrobes all along one wall, a further smaller double bedroom with one fitted wardrobe and a further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, as well as a contemporary family bathroom, also with separate shower and limestone floor tiles.
The whole house has been double glazed with aluminium ‘crittall-style’ windows, and the property has been further improved with new wiring, plumbing, central heating supplied by a pressurised hot water tank and Worcester boiler. The property further benefits from mains drains and water.
