Off the kitchen there is a corridor leading down to a workshop, with a storage cupboard, larder, access to the disused cellar and access into the sitting room also granted from this inner corridor.
Another rear lobby to the rear of the house, which is also accessible off the kitchen, provides access to a very spacious utility room, providing space and plumbing for additional appliances, a secondary sink, built-in storage cupboards and ample shoe and coat storage. The utility room further leads into a brick-built lean-to which fronts main road, and offers an ideal storage space. Adjacent to the utility room there is a sizeable larder fitted with ample shelving space. Back door entrance from the small courtyard and parking space.
First Floor
Stairs ascend from the principal entrance hall at ground floor level to a split-level staircase, leading to two bedrooms at the front of the property. These two bedrooms are generous doubles, both enjoying a double fronted view over the garden and feature exposed beams, built-in wardrobes and a three piece, dual aspect en-suite bathroom within the Victorian two storey extensions, comprising a low level WC, a heated towel rail, a fitted bath and a pedestal wash hand basin, with bedroom 1 en-suite also benefiting full height fitted storage cupboards.
The split level staircase leading to the rear of the property lends access to a vast double fronted bedroom to the rear aspect, a double bedroom to the side of the property with built-in wardrobes, and a further double bedroom, also to the side elevation, with built-in hanging. A three-piece bathroom to the rear of the property services the three bedrooms to this end of the property.
The main staircase continues to a second floor level where there are two generous storage rooms, with additional loft storage accessible via a staircase off the rear landing. This space could become further bedroom accommodation, providing the necessary planning consents were obtained.
Barn
A set of brick steps lead from the front of the property up to the brick-built barn, which offers huge potential, boasting a fully vaulted ceiling which displays the oak A-frame truss beams. The barn is currently used as storage, however, it would make an ideal annex space, a further living room to the principal residence, or an entertainment/games room.
Cottage
The cottage to Home Farm House has been empty for some years and now requires a full scheme of refurbishment works. A gravel drive running the perimeter of the property lends access to the front of the cottage, which would provide ample space for both off street parking and a garden area.
The cottage itself comprises a sitting room, kitchen diner, ground floor bathroom and two double bedrooms to the first floor.
Outside
The delightful, well-manicured gardens are positioned to the front of the property and are divided into three areas, the first being directly in front of the house, with well-stocked flower beds and borders, a stretch of lawn and a hedged boundary.
The second parcel of lawn sits to the front of the barn and is bordered by a hedge with mature, heavily stocked borders, filled with an array of shrubbery, perennials, well placed plants and flowers, and a mature oak tree to the corner of the garden.
A large expanse of lawn to the most southern part of the plot has previously been used as a grass tennis court, a very private parcel of garden with a mature tree lined/hedged boundary to the west and open fields to the south aspect. There are two brick built outbuildings accessible from this section of the garden, one with a stable door and the other a generous garden store with a vaulted ceiling.
