Home Farm House is a handsome Grade II listed property in the Tudor style, combining a wealth of beautiful period features with elegantly appointed contemporary accommodation. The property dates from the 16th century and features delightful original details including the exposed timber framing and projecting first-floor gables, which overhang the ground level in the style characteristic of the era.

Inside, much of the original timber framing and joinery remains, but the living space has been elevated by thoughtful, attractive renovation and styling to create an attractive living space.

There are two well-presented reception rooms on the ground floor, with the main living space being the generous sitting room and dining room, which has wooden parquet flooring, a triple aspect and a grand brick-built fireplace fitted with a log-burner. There is also a comfortable snug with an ornate cast-iron open fireplace, exposed beams overhead and a large leaded window overlooking the rear gardens.

The kitchen and breakfast room offers further social space, with its brick flooring, Shaker-style units, butler sink and stainless steel range cooker.

The cellar has a utility room and a store, providing further space for home appliances and storage.

On the first floor there are four attractive bedrooms, including the luxury principal bedroom, which has double doors opening to a dressing room with built-in storage, as well as an en suite shower room with a large shower enclosure, which has a rainfall shower head. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bathtub and a separate shower.

Oon the second floor you will find a further well-proportioned double bedroom with an en suite bathroom, also featuring a freestanding bathtub and separate shower. A door leading from the en suite bathroom opens to a large boarded loft storage space.

A lane provides access to the house and to the gravel driveway, which sits behind a five-bar wooden gate and provides plenty of parking space.

At the far end of the plot there is a separate entrance, providing access to the detached, timber-framed garage for further parking and storage. Stairs lead to the first floor of the garaging block, where there is a large room which is currently used as a gym, but could be converted into a studio, office or annexe.

The gardens surrounding the house are mostly south facing and include an area of lawn with border hedgerows and various mature trees, as well as a patio for al fresco dining, with borders of lavender.
