Park Farm House is an exemplary Victorian former farmhouse set within grounds of almost 3.5 acres. With ancillary accommodation, multiple garages and carports and a detached building set up for an indoor swimming pool, Park Farm House offers the perfect set up for modern life.
The current owners have painstakingly restored and renovated the property throughout with attention to detail which is second to none. Just some of the improvements include replacing the wooden sash windows, the restoration of a 35ft deep former water well in the dining room and installing reclaimed Victorian radiators throughout.
The main house is over three floors and all principal rooms enjoy stunning views of the grounds and fields beyond, really making the most of this exceptional setting. The recently extended dual aspect kitchen, breakfast and family room is incredible with wood-burning stove, six door AGA and island unit. There are two further generously proportioned reception rooms, both equally charming. The recent addition of a vaulted boot room with downstairs shower room and separate laundry room completes the ground floor.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, all benefitting with ensuites bathrooms. The principle suite has been imaginatively designed to include a cooper roll top bath and woodburning stove in the ensuite.
The second floor is the most recent addition to Park Farm House and includes two bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms and a very useful study space with stunning gable window with wonderful views over the grounds.
Throughout the renovation process the owners have painstakingly sourced Victorian fixtures and fittings to ensure the house retains its original charm and elegance. The restoration process has taken over 15 years and its clear to see it’s been a real labour of love. Park Farm House must be viewed to be truly appreciated.
The largest of the two sets of ancillary accommodation is a three bedroom property sitting adjacent to Park Farm House. With accommodation over two floors, the property has a modern kitchen and separate sitting room along with three ensuite bedrooms.
There is also an additional one bedroom duplex apartment with Juliette balcony with views over the gardens which is over a double garage.
There are two further separate garage blocks, alongside a double carport and various woodsheds and log stores.
The largest of the outbuildings is designed to be a pool house but could also be used a car show room or similar. The building spans over 45 feet in length and 34 feet in width.
The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with an excellent number of mature trees and shrubs. An extensive patio area is accessed via the dining room and offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining.
