Description
A south-facing stone former farmhouse with lovely gardens extending to over half an acre and wonderful far-reaching views.
The Property - Primrose Farm is a detached character stone house having origins in the early 18th century with later additions. The kitchen extension was added in 2003/4 with the current owners refitting the kitchen completely in 2025. It is a fantastic family space with views over the garden and countryside. Additional recent updates include a new roof to the rear extension and some new LVT floors, new external doors and replacement of all bathrooms.
Internally the two original reception rooms both have large stone fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove and the other an open fire. To the back of the house on the ground floor is the dining room and a study or fourth bedroom with adjoining shower room. Steps from the sitting room lead up to an office or additional reception room with French doors to outside giving a potential separate annexe entrance if required. From the sitting room the main stairs lead to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms each with new contemporary ensuite shower rooms. A second staircase leads up to a further double bedroom with triple aspect, lovely views and new ensuite shower room.
Outside - The property is approached from the road via double gates on to a large drive where there is ample parking and turning for a number of cars as well as boats, caravans or trailers. There is a detached timber garage / workshop, car port on a brick plinth with a pitched slate roof and garden shed.
The garden is predominantly to the front of the house and faces south with some lovely trees, dew pond, flower and shrub borders, mature hedges and wonderful far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. A beautifully fitted-out Shepherd's hut makes a superb summerhouse with a bar and comfortable sofas and is a great entertaining space. The views from the house and garden are a real feature of this property - out over the Blackmore Vale to the rising hills beyond. In all about 0.57 acres.
