Description
A beautifully presented and restored period farmhouse occupying a glorious rural setting. Lower House Farmhouse is being sold with no onward chain and is a charming timber-framed house with plastered elevations under a handmade red-clay-tiled roof. The property constitutes a valuable source of historical architecture and is listed as Grade II, with circa 1600 origins. The property has been tastefully restored and decorated in neutral tones throughout and includes a detached triple-bay cart lodge with an adjoining studio, providing supplementary accommodation and offering the option for a variety of different uses.
The property is entered from the front into a light-filled kitchen/family room of open-plan design. This sociable room provides a triple aspect and has been fitted with a bespoke range of light-coloured storage units and work surfaces with integrated appliances and a Quooker boiling water tap. The room provides some exceptional timbers offering a distinctive section to the room. There is an exposed red-brick wall and access to the garden. There is a utility room and a small entrance recess with two interconnecting receptions rooms.
To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom. The main bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and includes an en suite shower room.
