A charming 4 bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse set in beautiful grounds of around 6 acres, in an idyllic semi-rural position with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
Winterfloods Farm is believed to date back to the early 1400's with later additions and alterations. The property has been carefully restored over the years to create a family-friendly home which retains period character, with the majority of rooms enjoying breathtaking views of the grounds and fields beyond. With the addition of over 2,500 sq ft of outbuildings, the property offers scope for some modernisation and potential for a range of uses, subject to planning.
The front door opens into the entrance hallway which leads to all of the reception rooms, conservatory and the kitchen/breakfast room.
To the north elevation is the generous living room offering a triple aspect, exposed timbers and an impressive brick open fireplace. In the inner hallway is a cloakroom and opposite is the dining room with a feature chimney breast.
Well equipped with a range of wooden shaker units, integrated electric ovens and dishwasher, the kitchen is complete with a central island and inset electric hob. From here, the pantry and utility can be accessed with the utility providing space and plumbing for all the necessary appliances and a back door leading to the side outbuildings.
To the first floor are four generously proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. Three bedrooms are positioned to the front with bedroom one offering the possibility of ensuite facilities, also accessed from the main landing. Bedroom three is positioned to the rear of the property and is located next to the second bathroom. Each bedroom offers stunning elevated views of the grounds and countryside beyond.
A large sweeping shingle driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a triple garage, each bay with an up and over door and a side door. There is a greenhouse and a smaller barn which has plumbing and a sink, and which is attached to the larger tractor barn/workshop. This barn has its own separate gated driveway and access for larger machinery and vehicles, providing potential for an equestrian setup if required. Adjacent to the garage is a wood store and potting shed, and in the garden is a storage shed and further outbuilding, useful for storing bikes and smaller machinery. Subject to planning and Listed Building consent, these buildings provide potential for a variety of uses.
Winterfloods Farm has a beautiful lawned meadow that commences at the side of the property and wraps around to the rear. The secluded and peaceful grounds are interspersed with a variety of mature trees, bushes and a large pond which is a haven for wildlife.
To the front of the property is a fenced kitchen garden and on the opposite side of the road is a further meadow which belongs to the property, surrounded by fields. The grounds amount to approximately 6 acres in total
