Richardson’s Farm is a fascinating property dating from the15th Century. Listed Grade II and built in stone beneath a Collyweston and blue slate roof, the house has a number of attractive, original features including mullion windows, open fireplaces and some beautiful stone steps. In recent years, comprehensive and sympathetic refurbishment and updating has taken place, including the installation of oak shutters, ledged doors and stone floors. Recently, an oak-framed extension has been added, creating a superb, live-in kitchen / breakfast room.

The accommodation is laid out over two floors, with a degree of flexibility in how many of the rooms could be utilised, including some ground floor bedrooms within a wing that could serve as an independent annexe.

The ground floor has an oak panelled reception hall, which in turn leads to the hub of the house, which is a superb kitchen with oak-framed breakfast and family room, which opens to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of furniture with quartz-topped island and breakfast bar. The Aga with companion is a stylish focal point.

The formal dining room, currently used as a snug, has a beautiful inglenook, and window seats are set beneath the mullioned windows. The family room also has an inglenook with wood-burning stove, and window seats.

The sitting room is off the hall and offers lovely space for entertaining. The polished oak floor adds to the atmosphere, and full height glazing offers views of the garden.

Within the main part of the house, ancient stone steps lead to a landing which serves the three double bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities. The beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the third bedroom. The attic was obviously inhabited many years ago as servants’ quarters. There are two windows in the gable and plenty of space for full conversion to further accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

The wing beyond the sitting room, is a converted barn, offering two double bedrooms, and shower room / WC. The utility room, which is well-fitted, could serve as a kitchen if this wing was to become an independent annexe. Stairs lead up to a great home office and a gym, which has concealed plumbing so that a bathroom could be installed, if desired.
