Una Sostanziale Casa Colonica D'epoca Classificata DI Grado II DI Notevole Carattere

A substantial period farmhouse of considerable character, believed to date from the late 16th or early 17th century. This Grade II listed home is distinguished by its attractive brick elevations and a wealth of well-preserved character features throughout.

The ground floor offers five comfortable, flexible reception rooms, including the 23ft sitting room with its vertical timbers, inglenook fireplace and two large south-facing windows overlooking the front garden. There is also a useful study, a beautifully appointed dining room with wooden parquet flooring, a secondary sitting room with a panelled wall and a grand fireplace fitted with a log burner, and a games room providing further space in which to relax or entertain. Additionally on the ground level, the well-equipped kitchen has tiled flooring, handmade wooden units and an Aga, as well as space for a breakfast table and French doors opening to the garden at the side.

Upstairs there are five well-presented double bedrooms, four of which benefit from sunny south-facing aspects. They include the generous principal bedroom with its built-in storage, dressing room and en suite bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower unit. One further bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the upper level also has a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is set in extensive, beautiful gardens and grounds, with rolling lawns and meadows to the front, sides and rear. There is also a large patio area at the rear of the house for al fresco dining, a heated swimming pool with a sun terrace and a vegetable garden with raised beds and a greenhouse. Outbuildings include two detached garages, a further integrated garage and a large barn and stable complex.
