The Property
An early 19th century Georgian farmhouse, listed Grade II, Green Farm sits in a prime position overlooking the green in the pretty village of Bitteswell.
With traditionally proportioned principal rooms, balanced by an extended and extensively glazed open plan living / kitchen / dining room, the house has been greatly improved to create comfortable, light accommodation throughout, blending the history of the property with modern functionality.
The entrance, which has a transom light over the panelled front door, opens into the formal hall, where a flagstone floor leads to two symmetrical reception rooms, the left being used as a study, with the drawing room opposite, having an engineered oak floor, and traditional cast iron fireplace, with casement windows overlooking the green.
The extension to the rear that incorporates the kitchen is a triumph of style, open plan and with wide floor to ceiling windows that flood light into the room. Underfloor heated throughout (and through into the laundry and cloakroom); the contemporary kitchen, which has been finished to a very high standard, with AEG appliances integrated, gas hob with extractor over, hot water tap, and Insinkerator. The central island has a breakfast bar to one end, and contrasts beautifully with the exposed brick chimney breast, into which is set a Morsö woodburning stove.
To the far end of the room, and surrounded by the garden, the living room has an engineered oak floor, and beautifully vaulted ceiling with exposed original A-framed timbers adding interest. Through both the kitchen and living room, the double glazed windows slide open creating a natural flow between the two rooms and the garden.
Returning to the main hall, stairs rise to the first floor, with a continuous handrail in oak, leading to a wide landing off which three bedrooms are found: the principal bedroom, which has been created in the 2012 extension, has a stunning vaulted ceiling, with exposed timbers and a panelled wall with inset shelving. There is a practical dressing room, and a full sized en-suite bathroom, with bath, twin sinks and separate shower.
Else where to the first floor, a modern bathroom is finished to the same exceptionally high standard as the principal en-suite, also with full-height tiling to the main wall, wall-hung twin sinks, a large walk in shower and separate, oversized bath.
The central landing leads to the front of the house, where there is a picture window framing views of the green, before dividing and leading to two generous double bedrooms, both with high ceilings, traditional cast-iron fireplaces set into the original chimneybreasts, and both overlooking the green.
The handrail continues, and stairs rise to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower-room.
The Barn Conversion
To the end of the garden is a stunning, vaulted ceilinged barn conversion, which adds a wonderful dimension to the house. At present, a fantastic work from home office has been added to the mezzanine above a kitchenette and cloakroom, whilst the ground floor has ample space for a pool table and comfortable seating, making for an excellent party barn, annexe or teenage retreat.
Outside
The gardens have been landscaped with designer Andy Sturgeon creating a unique and calm feeling space, lawned to one side, with wide pathway and raised central water feature. There are borders planted for interest, and a super seating area situated to make the most of the evening sunshine.
Driveway parking for two to three vehicles is found adjacent to the rear garden, with a gate leading to the path and to the back door.
Next to the parking space is a lit, lockable garden store and 4-bin refuse/recycling store.
