Description:

Priors Farm is a truly spectacular Grade II listed farmhouse boasting a wealth of history and a particularly peaceful setting with far-reaching countryside views, all of which on approximately 6 acres. The original part of the property dates back to the 17th century with a stunning and imposing Georgian façade, and internally boasting ample original features such as exposed floorboards, fireplaces and beams. The property is significant in size offering around 3,700 sq.ft of accommodation, which comprises an entrance hall, four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom, a top floor office, six double sized bedrooms and three bathrooms.

In addition to the main house, there are an array of outbuildings consisting of a garage block, partially enclosed stores, a potting shed, a barn and a large section of chicken sheds. There is alsobarn adjacent to the main house, on the south boundary, that has an outstanding planning application on it to convert into a residential dwelling. The decision is imminent and likely to be successful. The planning reference is 23/01228/LBC.

Entering into the broad entrance hall with an oak staircase and original stone floor providing access to the cellar. The sitting room enjoys an open fireplace with two windows to front aspect allowing in plenty of south-westerly facing sun; off the sitting room is the south-facing garden room. The dining room offers an inset wood burning stove and leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, that boasts a spacious and light feel with a fitted kitchen, original revamped AGA, ample dining space and a larder. The rear boot room has a door leading to the rear garden and a cloakroom. The side entrance has doors to both front and rear aspects, leading through to the ground floor study, that in turn leads to the large utility room.

The first floor boasts a grand and spacious landing with windows to both front and rear aspects. The master bedroom offers an ornate original fireplace, an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Three further double sized bedrooms are positioned on the north-east side of the property, with a modern bathroom between.

On the second floor is a landing with windows to rear and side aspects, with three further versatile rooms (an office and two further bedrooms), with a spacious shower room.

Outside:

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway providing ample parking and access to the left of the property leading to the detached garage block. The remaining front aspect is predominately lawned with a selection of hedging and established trees. The immediate 'formal' gardens are also mainly lawned with a wonderful selection of colourful and mature shrubs, plants and trees. The rear section of the immediate garden is mainly paved with a small potting shed and leading to the small planted section that in turn leads to the large meadow. The barn with conversion potential enjoys a sectioned off garden, that has historically been used as a growing-garden. Behind this area are the partially enclosed stores, the orchard, the large farm-barn, paddocks and the chicken sheds.
