The second floor is particularly impressive, offering two further large double bedrooms with good head height and natural light. One of these includes a sizeable walk-in store room which could serve as an en suite making an ideal self-contained suite for a teenager (subject to consents). There’s also a linen store housing the hot water tank and a quiet reading nook tucked beneath the eaves.
Outside The gardens at Leaches Farm are a real standout feature of the property, private and peaceful, surrounded by hedging, catching the sun for the majority of the day with areas of shade beneath some wonderful trees.
There is a large south-facing walled terrace immediately outside the kitchen which enjoys total privacy, making it an ideal setting for al-fresco dining.The wide lawns are dissected by a stone path, which is flanked on either side by borders planted with lavender and many other fragrant herbs. At the end of the path, an archway within a mature Yew hedge leads through to another almost secret garden with well maintained lawns for children to play on, set around a magnificent mature Plane tree. There is a small kitchen garden area with raised beds and a greenhouse, all enclosed by a woven willow fence to keep out any hungry wildlife. There is also a shady fern garden and sunny borders planted with David Austin roses, shrubs and perennials. Other trees include a Walnut, a Liquidamber and a fruitful Bramley.
There are further gardens to the side where the owner has planted a small orchard, with other fruit trees including cherry and pears. Nearby is a sheltered utility area with a large garden shed, compost bin and storage areas.
Set within the front walls, there is a large wrought iron gate which opens to a driveway that leads up to the single garage which has been fitted with new electrics. Behind the garage there is a useful garden store.
In all, the gardens and grounds amount to around half an acre.
