STEP INSIDE Home Farm House
Home Farm House represents a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed residence of immense charm and character. This fine period home has been cherished and meticulously maintained by its current owners, offering an elegant blend of heritage and sophistication. The result is a home of considerable standing, quietly nestled with English country gardens and located within one of the area’s most soughtafter settings.
A superb and extremely well presented property offering accommodation arranged over three levels. The property showcases a wide range of character and original features typical from the era of construction including flagstone floors, heavily beamed ceilings, feature fireplaces, plank and latch doors and exposed brickwork. The property offers a charming and inviting living environment which is ideal for modern day family occupation.
GROUND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION
To the ground floor an entrance hall provides an immediate indication of the calibre of this property. There are two formal reception rooms comprising a sitting room with French windows providing access to the garden as well as stunning inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove, and a cosey snug with feature fireplace. Without doubt the heart to the home is the heavily beamed breakfast kitchen with four oven AGA and superb range of stylish hand painted bespoke wall and base mounted units. The kitchen also features a walk in pantry area and opens into an impressive dining area with vaulted ceiling and French doors opening onto a delightful courtyard garden. The ground floor also provides a further reception room, currently used as a home office, which benefits from an independent access that may suit those with a requirement to work from home. The ground floor is completed with practical features, including a boot room, a guest cloakroom, and an exceptionally spacious utility room which also serves as a summer kitchen, fitted with an induction hob and built-in oven. In addition, there is access to a cellar.
FIRST FLOOR ACCOMMODATION
The first floor accommodation is accessed by an ancient staircase which showcases further character with exposed wall beams and leading to a lovely spacious landing area.
To this floor is the master bedroom, as well as two further good sized bedrooms which share the use of a high quality family bathroom and separate shower room.
SECOND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION
Stairs continue to the second floor which offers an additional two double bedrooms (one with an en-suite shower room) and a central reception landing/sitting room which could provide a sixth bedroom if required. The second floor features stunning vaulted ceilings showcasing original timbers and would easily suit teenagers requiring their own space.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens at Home Farm House are nothing short of enchanting — a breathtaking showcase of quintessential English country style, thoughtfully designed to create a series of distinct yet harmonious outdoor ‘rooms’. Each space offers its own atmosphere, purpose, and seasonal beauty.
Entry to the private walled gardens is via a wide arched gate from the roadside, leading to a winding paviour path illuminated by dusk-to-dawn sensor lighting. From here, steps rise to a beautifully appointed south-west facing upper courtyard terrace, framed by ornamental tree specimens, topiary shrubs, and a circular water feature.
The heart of the garden is a stunning formal parterre, classically arranged around an ancient olive tree, subtly lit to create a magical focal point by night. This segmented circular design is bordered with yew topiary, pleached specimens, lavender hedging, traditional buxus and pittosporum, interspersed with acers and a striking magnolia.
Steps descend to a discreet working area comprising a potting station, greenhouse, and timber garden store.
Beyond, the main formal garden unfolds, richly planted with a carefully curated array of flowering shrubs and ornamental trees, including wisteria, fig, silver birch, magnolia grandiflora and Japanese acers — providing interest throughout the changing seasons. A sheltered lower terrace offers an ideal vantage point for al fresco dining while a secluded tree seat at the far end of the garden offers a picturesque view back towards the house.
To the front of the property, a block-paved driveway allows for ample off-road parking and leads to an attached double garage.
