House For Sale £650,000
A much-improved grade II listed farmhouse, providing elegant proportions complemented by generous gardens.
Walnut Tree Farmhouse is a splendid home understood to have been built in the 17th century of oak timber frame construction beneath a later tiled roofline and recently improved for the current owners, resulting in a delightful home of considerable character retaining many original features including a wealth of exposed beams and studwork, large red brick fireplaces with wood burning stoves and fine wide oak floorboards and oak plank internal doors.
The accommodation offers particularly fine proportions with large rooms and generous ceiling height with accommodation currently in brief comprising; panelled entrance door opening to an entrance hall leading to the stunning drawing room, a simply wonderful heavily timbered reception with a fine arched red brick fireplace with wood burning stove. The large sitting room is a lovely light and airy space with polished oak floorboards, red brick fireplace with wood burning stove, beautiful old door opening to the oak staircase and open studwork leads through to the family room/snug, with access leading to a large 29ft cellar.
The well-equipped kitchen breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of units with space for range oven and built-in breakfast table area. A door leads to the side and to a garden/dining room, providing delightful views across the gardens.
The fine oak staircase leads to the first floor landing with exposed floorboards, beams, plank oak door to attic space and window overlooking rear gardens. The three bedrooms are all particularly spacious with beautiful features including exposed beams, oak floorboards and fireplaces and a family bathroom and separate shower room completes the accommodation.
Outside
Walnut Tree Farmhouse is approached through a pair of traditional five bar gates opening to a driveway providing vehicle parking, turning space and space to build a cartlodge garage etc (subject to planning permission).
