A handsome Grade II listed farmhouse with gardens, orchards and land in excess of 8.5 acres.
Description
Buckhole Farm is a handsome Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date from the early 18th century Queen Anne period. It sits at the end of a shared no through country lane, with a walled garden, cherry and apple orchards, several fields and enjoys lovely views. The village of High Halstow is under a mile away and has a range of amenities, whilst the area is also home to the High Halstow National Nature Reserve and the RSPB Northward Hill Reserve, providing a haven for birds and wildlife.
This attractive family home features high ceilings, multi paned hardwood sash windows, picture rails and panelled doors with brass fittings. Steps lead up to the front door which opens to the reception hall, off which lie the principal dual aspect reception rooms. The double drawing room is a lovely room of excellent proportions with open fireplace and several steps continuing down to the kitchen/breakfast room, with folding doors dividing these rooms if required. The dining room is ideal for entertaining and features wood flooring and an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of cupboards and various appliances including a wall mounted oven, a four ring electric hob, an integral dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. There is a scullery/utility room with fitted cupboard, space for white goods and access to the rear garden. Adjoining the scullery is a WC.
From the hall, wooden steps lead down to the useful two room cellar, both rooms benefit from natural light and one having a fireplace (not in use).
A wide staircase leads to the split level first floor where there are three bedrooms which are served by two bathrooms and a shower room. The two main bedrooms are lovely light rooms which have built in cupboards and enjoy a southerly aspect. Bedroom three is currently used as a study. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, one having a modern en suite bathroom.
Buckhole Farm is approached via a shared drive, owned by the property. The drive continues around to the rear where there is a triple garage block with two closed bays and one open and an electric car charger. The walled garden lies to the east of the house and beyond lie the apple and cherry orchards and a field. There is a paddock which is located off lane, in all it totals about 8.7 acres.
