Blueys Farm is an exceptional property with many possibilities for further potential (subject to permissions and consents). The accommodation to the house and staff block is flexible and would suit many family scenarios, letting, or home business requirements. The main house is of half brick and half-timber clad construction. It has been built in a slightly elevated position; the front of the house leading onto a terrace which then overlooks a paddock and a lake beyond. The majority of the accommodation is on the ground floor and comprises a good sized light filled kitchen/dining room with attractive and stylish wooden units and a breakfast bar; leading to a dining area benefitting from bi-fold doors onto the adjacent terrace. Next door is the well proportioned living room, again with doors leading to the terrace. To the other side of the kitchen/dining room is a useful utility room with fitted sink, cupboards and worktop.

The accommodation is completed on this floor by a study, a family bathroom and a cloakroom. The entire first floor is self-contained and comprises a large bedroom measuring over 32’ in length and a bathroom. This area could easily be converted to an annexe by adding a kitchenette. The staff accommodation is attached to a small stable block wing, and is made up of 2 kitchens, 1 ensuite bedroom, a further bedroom which could also be used as a reception room, 2 separate shower rooms and 2 small reception rooms/store rooms.
