Description

Ketts Farm is an attractive Grade II listed 17th century farmhouse with later additions. Having undergone significant extension and renovation works during the mid 2000s the property was transformed into an excellent and spacious family home capturing both modern living style as well as retaining the beautiful character features associated with the period.

The accommodation comprises about 3400sq ft of living space in addition to several outbuildings, garaging and studio space, ideal for home working with B1 business class use.

The main house consists of four fine reception rooms including a formal drawing room, dining room, sitting room and playroom/ home office, with separate access to the rear courtyard. These rooms feature cosy fireplaces and attractive beams yet also offer ample space to perfectly combine and offer flexibility couples, families or multi-generational living. The Kitchen/diner is modern in style, finished in high gloss under silestone work surfaces. There are an array of wall and base level units as well as underfloor heating, making for a highly functioning and practical space. French doors lead out to the terrace, an attractive paved courtyard area which is sizeable and ideal for outside entertaining. The ground floor also has a shower room.

To the first floor are five bedrooms including the stunning principal suite located in the modern wing boasting both a vaulted ceiling and a luxury en suite, incorporating Duravit ceramics styled by architect and designer Philippe Starck. The second bedroom also features modern en suite facilities and is perfect for guests with bedrooms three, four and five being served by a family bathroom. A staircase leads up to the second floor attic rooms, which host a bedroom, and an array of built in wardrobes. These could be utilised for either storage or potentially further accommodation with bathroom facilities if needed and subject to the necessary permissions.

There is parking at the rear for several vehicles with a detached triple garage block. A cart lodge adjoining the garden studio also gives further covered parking.
