House For Sale £1,500,000
The current owners bought Roughwood a decade ago safe in the knowledge that whilst they could make many changes to a house they couldn’t pick it up and move its location. Situated in the heart of Farley Hill on its own plot surrounded by attractive woodlands they immediately knew that this is where they wanted to live.
Over the following years they set about extensively re-modelling Roughwood, changing the location of key rooms to better enjoy the grounds and make the most of its surroundings.
The three bathrooms were upgraded and re-fitted. A new kitchen/family room was created and “Optiplan” installed a modern kitchen with quartz worksurfaces, LED lighting and integrated appliances.
In all the 3500 sq.ft. Of space provides excellent accommodation commensurate with today’s modern living styles. There is scope for further improvements subject to the normal consents.
Surrounded by woodland, Roughwood is a little oasis of serenity. The gardens encompass the house and enjoy complete privacy, predominately lawned with mature borders and beds planted with a range of trees, bushes and shrubs providing form and colour.
The secret garden provides a relaxing space in which to enjoy the sun with the sound of the ornamental waterfall in the background. There is also a pond and a partially walled kitchen garden.
A large shingled driveway provides plenty of parking at the front of the house and leads to the barn and car ports.<br /><br />Surrounded by woodland and rolling countryside Farley Hill is a popular village and retains an active cricket club, bowling club and primary school. Many community led activities centre around the Victory Hall which has provided a century of service to the locals.
