Abbey Green Farm is an impressive small holding nestled within 8.48 acres of land, including agricultural grassland (with water supplies), woodland, 2 substantial stone barns, stable block with tack room/ WC/ kitchen and large detached garage/workshop. The semi-rural location offers the convenience of easily accessible amenities/ schools, whilst retaining that desired privacy, space and rural setting. The four-bedroom farmhouse has recently undergone a high specification restoration, with quality fixtures and fitments throughout the project. The property boasts three reception rooms, two ensuite shower rooms, bathroom, 31ft open plan kitchen/dining room and snug off. A useful utility room, cellar and the versatility of having two staircases, with one of the bedrooms having its own independent access to the first floor, with ensuite shower room and WC. You're welcomed into the property via the entrance porch, then through to the hallway. The hallway provides access to the first floor and has a useful WC off. The open plan kitchen/dining room has a reclaimed stone fireplace with log burning stove and ample room for a dining table and chairs. The kitchen has a range of fitted units to the base and eye level, island, granite worksurfaces, Miele integrated dishwasher, belfast sink, inglenook with Everhot (multi-oven) range cooker, an American style fridge freezer and wine chiller. A snug area is located off the dining area, with media wall. A porch area is located to the rear of the property with a utility area housing the oil-fired boiler, base units with plumbing and space for a washing machine. The living room also benefits from a reclaimed stone fireplace with log burning stove and exposed beams to the ceiling. The office is located to the front of property, but this sizeable space could easily be utilised as a further reception room, having inset wood burning stove, access to the cellar and bedroom four. To the first floor, the property has built in storage and provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom two has exposed timber to the walls and ceiling with ensuite off. Bedroom three could quite easily be reconfigured into two bedrooms, with a stud wall and additional access through the cupboard space, subject to any approvals required. The family bathroom has a walk-in shower, panel bath, integral chrome fitments, his and hers wash hand basins. Externally the property has a gated and walled access from Abbey Green Road. Located to the left of the driveway is a detached stone haybarn, which has two levels and is a potential residential development opportunity, subject to planning and building regulation approval. Further down the driveway is the farmhouse located to the right, with gardens to the front and side, detached garage/workshop in front and ponds to the left-hand side. A yard area beyond sits in front of the sizeable stone L-shaped barn which could be utilised as stabling/ storage, or again is a potential residential development opportunity subject to the relevant approvals. A large open haybarn is located to the rear of the L-shaped barn, with the recently built stone and timber stable block with tack room behind, with concrete base, power, light, sink and WC. The paddock is accessed behind the barns through an agricultural gate, with brick-built livestock shelter and fenced boundaries – the 2 large grazing fields, potential menage area and woodland are then accessed through metal gates beyond. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the flexibility of this stunning property with its extensive range of well-maintained outbuildings, ideal for those with an equestrian/ livestock/ wildlife interest, general smallholding, or those simply seeking the rural lifestyle whilst retaining the convenience of local facilities.
