The dining room features a south-facing bay window and connects to a generous, traditional farmhouse breakfasting kitchen.
Three equally sized and generous double bedrooms (two interconnecting) are accessed from the first floor landing, all benefitting from south-facing views over the garden and across the Nene Valley. This floor shares a family bathroom and separate cloakroom.
The carpeted stairs continue to the second floor, providing two further generous double bedrooms and a shared shower room.
Accessed externally at the western gable end of the farmhouse is the original stone thatched cottage, which has been restored and provides a flexible ground floor area with a staircase rising to a mezzanine level. Steps also lead down to a cellar that lies under the sitting room of the main house and provides very dry storage.
TRADITIONAL COURTYARD OUTBUILDINGS
A series of traditional former farm buildings run along the eastern boundary of the property to the east of the farmhouse and left of the driveway. A pretty, modern red brick wall encloses a generous area of useful hardstanding in front of the outbuildings.
The main two-storey section is constructed of stone under part slate and fibre cement roof; the remaining part is single-storey. A portion of the outbuildings were converted in 1985 and now comprises:
THE STUDIO
Currently a state-of-the-art, professional photographic studio* and stainless steel commercial kitchen, the space is endlessly adaptable
to a multitude of potential commercial or residential uses. Providing approximately 1,100 square feet of space, the main studio is part vaulted alongside a separate one-storey storeroom and stairs rising up to a glazed mezzanine office overlooking the studio. Warm air industrial gas heating. *Business unaffected
THE FLAT
Situated on the first floor and accessed either externally via its own staircase or from the studio is a one-bedroom residential flat with a galley kitchen and an en suite shower room. Gas fired central heating via its own boiler.
The remaining buildings remain unconverted and currently provide a double garage and utility room to the farmhouse, along with cloakrooms for the studio. To the south of the studio lies the single-storey range currently providing generous storeroom along with former stabling, again used for storage and a separate, open-fronted hay/wood barn.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The partly-walled mature garden and grounds lie to the south of the farmhouse and west of the courtyard range of farm buildings. Running the length of the south-facing frontage of the farmhouse is a York stone paved seating and dining area overlooking the formal garden, offering a profusion of colour and interest throughout the seasons, and onwards across the Nene valley.
PADDOCK/ORCHARD
To the south of the garden and grounds are the orchard / paddock which benefit from direct vehicular access from the courtyard. The area is partly enclosed by post and rail fencing with numerous fruit trees and an open grazing area. In the northeastern corner, a double timber garage is used for the storage of machinery and equipment along with a separate oversized timber summerhouse that has been used by the current owners as a bar and event space. The orchard and paddock area total approximately 0.68 acres.
