Holmes for Homes are pleased to present to you this stunning property which has 206m of living space over 2 floors and sits on a fully walled and gated private plot of 602 m.
The property has been beautifully reformed to a very high standard and retains all the character and charm of a traditional farmhouse, yet combined with modern living. The beautiful solid wood front door opens into an entrance vestibule and through to a spacious lounge with larger than average floor to ceiling windows to maximise the light entering the room, with tiled windowsills, a traditional wooden fireplace with log burning fire and beautiful beamed ceilings. Off here double wooden arched and glazed doors lead through to a separate dining room, which has its own large pellet burning fire for the winter months. Off here a small hallway with very useful under stair storage leads to a downstairs double bedroom with a modern newly installed en suite shower room. Off the dining room, a tiled staircase leads to the first floor and a wooden door leads out to the rear. Back in the lounge, a wide archway leads to a newly installed fully fitted top spec matt white kitchen with black worktops, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, floor to ceiling window again to incorporate natural light, and beautiful beamed ceiling.
On the first floor a hallway leads to a spacious double guest bedroom with beamed ceiling, original stone walling and cleverly built in wardrobes in traditional styling, a guest bedroom/office, a newly installed modern family shower room, a very spacious master bedroom with hot and cold air conditioning and double depth wardrobes cleverly fitted into the recess of the full width of the room, original stone walling and beamed ceiling. This room also has underfloor heating. On this floor there is also a huge family bathroom with a modern free standing bath, plus a walk in shower. This is again newly installed and modern and contemporary, yet retaining the natural character. Off this bathroom a single access door leads out to steps leading to a roof terrace with fantastic country views.
Back on the ground floor and leading off the dining room but also accessed via a metal door from the double car port, is the pool, and alfresco dining and entertaining area. Off the dining room is a very large fly free dining and relaxing area, which overlooks the bespoke 8 x 4 swimming pool with surrounding terrace.
