Surrounded by immense natural beauty, Myrtle Farm House is thought to date back to the 1720s and today its elegantly presented interior retains a wealth of character. Accessed down a private lane and sitting on the ridge of Norwood Hill, it has beautiful far-reaching views across the open countryside.
The property is arranged over two stories behind a double fronted Georgian façade. Through the gabled porchway a series of well-dressed reception rooms provide several choices of places in which to relax and entertain, all with garden views. Beneath exposed timber beams, a beautiful sitting room connects with a charming family room to create a fluid layout. A working inglenook fireplace lends a fantastic focal point to the former, while a log burner and ancient bread oven, lends a homely feel to the latter.
Additional dining and breakfast rooms are equally suited for family meals or evenings spent catching up with friends. Myrtle, has a charming double aspect kitchen, beautifully appointed with a classic Aga and bespoke Shaker-style cabinets.
A large, light-full conservatory with an insulated tiled roof looks out onto the swimming pool and walled Mediterranean style garden. Double French doors open onto an extensive and secluded Indian sandstone patio. A ground floor bedroom with ensuite bathroom is ideal for guests or multi-generational households and a utility room completes the layout.
Upstairs, three double aspect bedrooms all look out over the gardens and the principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe. They share a fabulous family bathroom with a roll top bath and walk-in waterfall shower.
