Character, history and rurality meet at Redmile’s Farm, an enchanting Grade II listed farmhouse, tucked off Redmile’s Lane, in the heart of the pretty conservation village of Ketton. A unique and versatile offering, Redmile’s Farm has planning for the construction of a four-bedroom home on the plot, should the next custodian wish to pursue this commercial or personal opportunity. A Potted History Believed to date back to 1735, the cellar to the main house predates the current building, offering a tantalising insight into the home’s history. In 1797, the home formed part of the Northwick’s Estate and was later inherited by the Captain Spencer Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, Redmile’s Farm was subsequently sold at auction in Stamford in 1919. A working farm until after the Second World War, the home and land were then occupied and tenanted by Farmer Redmile, after which the farmlands were sold, and the house became a family home. Overlooking the 14th century spire of St Mary’s Church, which provides a magnificent backdrop to the garden, Redmile’s Farm is a home that has evolved over the centuries; retaining its original key architectural features such as the lime plaster walls and lathe and plaster ceilings, it is now a warm and welcoming home, and ready for its next chapter to be written. Welcome Home Handsome in its Georgian symmetry, Redmile’s Farm is set back from the private road behind estate rail fencing and festooned in fragrant white climbing roses. Plenty of parking can be found along the gravel driveway to the side and rear, accessed via a five-bar wooden gated entrance. Inside, farmhouse charm emanates from the entrance hallway, where a glazed door on the right delivers you through into the drawing room. Light and bright, this space retains its original features that add character, including a rustic beam overhead and a feature wall with exposed stone surrounding the open fireplace. French doors open to the sunny terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, whilst opposite, pause in the window seat to admire the leafy views onto the lane. Cast iron radiators feature throughout, issuing traditional warmth. Traditional Charm Across the entrance hallway, the original flagstone floor has been retained, instilling a farmhouse warmth in the kitchen, the heart of the home. Light flourishes in once more, through windows to the front and rear, with access out to the garden via a stable door. Beams bedeck the ceiling, whilst the homely Aga is a constant source of comfort throughout the seasons. Lightly coloured cabinetry affords ample storage, with space for a dishwasher alongside an undermounted sink. Lift the latch on the farmhouse door, opening to provide access down stone steps to the cellar beneath. A spacious dining kitchen, with plenty of space for a breakfast table and American-style fridge freezer, this room is the sociable heart of the home; a room where all the family can gather and be together in spacious comfort. Pockets of Practicality An everyday boot room entrance can be discovered off the kitchen, off which lies a downstairs cloakroom to one side, and a utility room to the other, plumbed for washing machine and dryer, furnished with Belfast sink, gas hob and cooker, and offering further storage in the cabinetry and built-in cloaks cupboard. Snuggle Up Relax and unwind in the snug, a fantastic family room featuring exposed beams and stonework, where a Clearview woodburning stove, fills the room with toasty cheer. Windows to both sides invite the outdoors in. Peacefully positioned off the snug is a handy study, overlooking the garden and ideal for those seeking a quiet space in which to work from home. And So To Bed... A back staircase from the snug leads up to a large bedroom, currently serving as a study, and furnished with a shower room en suite. Admire the far-reaching views out to the church and spire. Tucked away from the main flow of the home, it could serve as a private guest suite or even a games room. Retracing your steps to the entrance hallway, ascend the main stairs to the landing, where a dainty window seat offers a place in which to rest and admire the verdant views over the garden. Refresh and revive in the family bathroom on the left, where the characterful timbers are revealed once more. Enjoy a spritz beneath the shower or a soak in the separate bathtub. More To Discover Continuing up, a few more steps deliver you to the main landing, where the principal bedroom awaits on the left, offering elevated views out over the lush gardens to the front and rear. Ample storage is available in the latched door walk-in wardrobe. Spacious and bright, spy the outline of the church spire beyond the garden, enchanting in all weathers. Across the landing lies another spacious double bedroom, with shower room en suite containing built-in storage. Views extend once more over to the front. Room For All Ascending the stairs to the second floor, three further bedrooms await beneath the high, vaulted ceiling, decorated by characterful exposed beams. Spacious and bright, the double bedroom to the left of the landing features an exposed stone feature wall, with dormer windows to front and rear capturing the garden and church spire. Another bountiful double bedroom again brims with light, overlooking the garden and church. The final bedroom to discover is currently used as a dressing room, and sits to the front of the home. An English Country Garden Nestled on a plot of nearly ¾ acre, to the rear, formal box hedging contrasts crisply with the golden gravel driveway. Spreading out to a hedged boundary, lawn stretches out, planted with mature, colourful shrubs and trees and offering views towards the church spire. Relax and unwind on the paved terrace to the rear, where there is ample scope for barbecuing and outdoor entertaining, whilst the large lawn is ideal for children’s games. Outbuildings provide plenty of storage, with a garage and double oak carport also available. Meanwhile a renewal is currently underway of a planning consent for the erection of a four bedroom home, last successfully renewed in 2018.
