Description
Harts Hill Farm is an attractive, detached village family home of traditional design which has been enlarged and sympathetically improved to offer extremely versatile and well-presented accommodation skillfully blending original character elements with an exceptional contemporary flourish. The property is situated on a wonderful plot in excess of 3 acres with fine countryside views, combining formal gardens with paddocks and with outbuildings/stabling ideal for private equestrian use or similar.
The property has been thoughtfully designed with bedroom and living accommodation available over three well planned floors. On the ground floor an enclosed lobby with WC gives access to a welcoming centrally positioned reception hall. Accessed from here are three formal reception rooms comprising a family room and bay fronted study along with a triple aspect living room with feature fireplace and inset wood burning stove, a pretty bay window and two sets of double doors leading out on to the gardens.
The remainder of the ground floor comprises a most impressive triple aspect kitchen/dining room. This superb reception space has been vaulted to provide a wonderfully light and spacious informal feel with views across the gardens to the rear. The kitchen itself has been comprehensively fitted with a range of high quality country style wall and base units with worktops over.
Located within this room is an open staircase leading down to a lower ground level which provides two further reception rooms, or bedrooms if required, along with a separate shower room. Double doors from one of the rooms gives access to a clever lower ground terrace with atrium roof which provides a wonderful private seating/entertaining area.
On the first floor there are three further double bedrooms including an elegant, part vaulted principal bedroom with en suite shower room, dressing room and access out on to a lovely first floor terrace. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a further well-appointed bath/shower room.
The garden and grounds are a real feature of the property, having been extensively landscaped and carefully designed to provide both formal gardens approaching 0.75 acre alongside open pastureland to the rear of the plot extending to a little over 2.25 acres.
Formal gardens comprise extensive patio areas with well stocked beds and borders which wrap around the rear and side of the house to provide an idyllic outside entertaining space. Formal lawns interspersed with further beds and studded by mature trees stretch out to meet the pasture land by way of a gradual gradient change. The pastureland itself extends to the rear of the plot, which is bordered by mature trees and fencing.
Approached through double gates the property is accessed over a long gravel driveway providing ample parking. Within this enclosed driveway there are a number of barn style outbuildings and a further attached block of stables, ideal for equestrian use or for further ancillary accommodation subject to planning consent.
