A beautifully converted former farmstead offering spacious and versatile family living in a wonderfully private rural setting.
Description
Middle Farm is an exceptional rural home of character and scale, with far-reaching countryside views.
Converted with care and imagination in 2002 from a range of traditional outbuildings, Middle Farm is a highly individual detached home offering generous and versatile accommodation across three floors, all set within beautifully tended gardens and enjoying complete privacy in a tranquil rural setting.
Approached via a private driveway, the property sits in a discreet position with countryside stretching out beyond. The sense of arrival is immediate, with a generous entrance hall offering built-in storage and setting the tone for the spacious and thoughtfully designed interiors beyond.
At the heart of the home is an impressive kitchen/dining room-designed with both entertaining and everyday living in mind-featuring a striking tiled floor, granite worktops, extensive bespoke cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, and a classic Aga range cooker. Two sets of doors open onto the terrace, ideal for al fresco dining while enjoying the idyllic setting. A south-facing sitting room with views over the garden provides a light-filled and elegant space and connects to a separate library offering the ideal retreat. To the east, a cosy snug adds further flexibility to the living space. The ground floor also benefits from a well-appointed utility room and guest WC.
The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Bedroom two benefits from a well appointed en suite and fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom serves bedrooms three, four and five. The second floor offers two further bedrooms with Velux windows, ideal as guest rooms, home offices or teenage hideaways.
Outside, the grounds are a particular feature of the property, with generous gardens laid mainly to lawn and framed by mature planting, providing a wonderful sense of seclusion and space. There is ample parking, a garage/carport, and further outbuilding storage.
Middle Farm combines the charm and character of a rural setting with the comfort and flexibility of a modern family home - ideal for those seeking peace, privacy, and timeless countryside living.
