Willetts Farmhouse is an appealing period property where heritage characteristics are perfectly blended with modern-day enhancements to provide a congenial living environment in an idyllic countryside locale. Beyond the entrance portal, a generously-proportioned reception hallway offers versatile use options and gives a flavour of the classic comfort on offer within this relaxed home. Reception areas comprise a family/sitting room with the warming ambience of a freestanding log-burner, and a light-filled drawing room which provides a sociable setting with a seamless link to the garden. Interlinking with the adjoining kitchen/breakfast and dining area, there is a sociable quality to these spaces ideally suited to entertaining family and friends. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, stone work surfaces and a custom island unit with timber-topped breakfast bar. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a stylishly-appointed family bathroom with bath-tub and shower cubicle. The principal bedroom provides a luxurious en suite retreat with the addition of a dressing room. Supplemental accommodation is offered by two self contained properties. THE OLD GRANARY Is a detached two-storey property providing a spacious and stylish one-bedroom abode, with a charming first level sitting room nestled under exposed rafters and a kitchen/dining room, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. An office space in the linked outbuildings provides a home-working refuge, with options for use as a gym. STABLE COTTAGE Is a further detached property with accommodation arranged over one level and the benefit of a private parking area. The accomodation includes a sitting room with archway to the kitchen, a bedroom and bathroom and a separate, large utility room.
An open porch at the paved frontage of the home provides an architectural feature with a warm welcome and a sheltered spot to sit. A sunny southerly aspect can be enjoyed in the rear garden, where an area of lawn is framed by planted beds, and post-and-rail fencing at the far margin affords views to the adjoining terrain. A large paved terrace with retaining wall and curved steps, offers opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation, whilst the outdoor pool has a paved surround for lounging and evergreen hedging for screening. A parterre garden with paved pathways creates an attractive design feature to the side of the property, and just beyond the stable outbuildings border a courtyard. There are a range of stables and outbuildings arranged around the courtyard, with a 5 bar gate giving separate access.
This property has 8 acres of land.
