Surrounded by open countryside with far-reaching farmland views, this secluded, detached, former farmhouse offers a superb opportunity for a discerning purchaser and exposes various options to maximise its potential. Set in grounds of approximately 1.23 acres and currently under-renovation, refurbishment and extension, the extended farmhouse forms the basis of a very spacious residence and proffers prospective development to the adjacent outbuildings.
The property has a part-brick/part rendered exterior with the current render removed and Kingspan, or similar, to be applied over the externally insulated walls. The brickwork is a Northcot Cherwell Heritage blend and has an inset horizontal ‘dog-tooth’ band course and a low-level limestone edged skirt runs around the building. The completely new roof is grey slate. All the installed windows and doors are uPVC double glazed sash-less Residence 7 Heritage in the colour Painswick.
Currently, the two-storey property comprises an entrance doorway into the recently erected extension which will form the extensive, triple-aspect L-shaped living-dining-kitchen having windows to front and rear plus two lantern roof insets. An opening to the side gives way to the utility room with window to the front, a downstairs cloakroom and also a side exit door.
From the living-dining-kitchen, double doors will open to the generously spacious lounge with a window to the rear and having a brick-built fireplace with inset log burner to one wall and the retention of the currently exposed ceiling beams.
Off the entrance/living area, a staircase rises and turns to the first-floor accommodation and a step-up ascends to the inner hall and gives access to the good-sized study/home office, a spacious dual-aspect second reception room or games/playroom, and also a storage room/walk-in larder.
To the first floor, the L-shaped landing, with window to the front, gives way to the five large bedrooms – four double and one single, with two having en suite facilities, and also the family bathroom. All of the rooms enjoy spectacular, rural aspects over the adjoining farmland.
The extensive lawn garden to the front is lined by alder and hazel trees to the right and left, respectively, and incorporates a very large wildlife pond with a jetty and an orchard sits to the side.
The outbuildings comprise a large double garage with concrete base and lower wall construction, timber topped and having a slate roof. To the rear of the garage, and approximately half the size, is a concrete-block building formerly used as a chicken coop. Lastly, a further very large workshop stands to the side of the above buildings.
