Fewsters Farm is an impressive Grade II*-listed former farmhouse with origins believed to date back to 1450.
The property has evolved significantly as slits have been replaced with more conventional windows and, during the last ten years in particular, significant improvements have been made.
The property has an attractive façade with five gables and views across the formal gardens and neighbouring land.
Typical features include manorial fireplaces, particularly evident in the sitting room, snug and kitchen/breakfast room, oak ceiling beams and ornate door architraves and exposed timber floors, as well as traditional flagstone floors.
The drawing room is currently used as a games room and has a galleried library over. This area could easily form an annexe for a dependant relative, or further bedroom space – subject to necessary consent.
The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the house and includes a range of units with granite work surfaces, oven with hob and Aga. A wood-burning stove occupies the Inglenook fireplace.
At first-floor level, the master bedroom has an en-suite bath and shower room, with a guest bedroom enjoying fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom.
Bedrooms three – with fitted wardrobes – and four are served by a family bathroom. Accessed via the spiral staircase in the entrance hall is bedroom five with an adjoining bathroom.
The setting is typically rural with an attractive formal garden bordered by a running stream.
The garden is principally laid to lawn, with a large ornamental pond and a neighbouring all-weather tennis court.
Accessed from the utility room is a large terrace and covered area, currently used as a wood store. Beyond is a large yard that leads to the ménage, carport for two cars, attached workshop, outbuilding housing eight stables, open fronted hay/store barns.
A further stone building houses two loose boxes which is accessed from the drive and garden, and could be transformed for garaging or ancillary accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).
