We present the original farmhouse at The Lakes, a beautifully restored and extended home of immense charm, offering serene lakeside living within this picturesque development in prime Fryerning.
The Lakes is an elegant collection of 8 luxury detached homes, the first development of its kind in this exclusive location, set beside formal lakes amongst this private, gated estate. The Farmhouse is the centrepiece of the development, proudly standing on a sizeable plot overlooking the glorious lake with accommodation set across two floors to include three bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a further separate bathroom.
Listed (Grade II) and with all its original character on display, here is an opportunity to enjoy period living within this prime, gated development, with breathtaking lake views. Exposed timbers, a mellow clay-tiled roof, and original fireplaces are just some of the glorious features on display.
The property has been extended to offer a modern, open-plan kitchen/living room with striking views of the garden and lake beyond, accessed via a glazed vestibule. There are three further reception rooms in addition, including a reception hall/living room with feature fireplace; a study; and separate snug. A utility room/boot room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
Externally, ample parking is provided by way of a private driveway, and the rear garden features a versatile, timber outbuilding set under a clay tile roof.
