Description

Home Farm Cottage is a charming period house enjoying a secluded plot of about 4.69 acres situated on the edge of the village of Northall. The property is set back from the main road behind other dwellings, bordering fields on the side and rear boundary and as a result offers great seclusion.

Internally the accommodation is full of character with great views of the grounds from seemingly every window. A large reception hall gives access to a 34' triple aspect sitting room with open fire and French doors leading out to the patio and swimming pools. On the other side, it leads to a dining room with a lovely wood burning stove and a country style kitchen with another fantastic fireplace, flagstone floor, island and integrated appliances. There is also a utility room with an oil fired boiler and a door to the garden.

The first floor offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the large main bedroom having a balcony overlooking the swimming pool and an en suite shower room. The fifth bedroom is located close to the main bedroom and has potential for use as a nursey or dressing room if required. The second bedroom has an en suite shower room and there are two more double bedrooms with a large family bathroom. The loft extends along the full length of the property and provides exceptional storage space. It is boarded throughout with lighting and power points with one section being a boarded and plastered loft room with cupboards built into the eaves, accessed by loft ladder that offers scope for further development if required, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The house is approached from Leighton Road by a private driveway which leads to a five bar gate and then into the plot itself. The gardens are a delight and have extensive lawns, mature trees and provide excellent leisure opportunities for family life. There are two heated swimming pools, one with a retractable cover. A pool room has a shower, toilet and changing facilities and a pump room. In addition to the two swimming pools there is also a hot tub.

There is a large double garage with a home office above accessed by an external staircase. The office has velux windows, air conditioning, eaves storage and a cloakroom with wc and wash hand basin. Hidden behind bushes there is a tractor shed and oil tank that serves the central heating system. There is also another shed and there is a tree house which has recently been renovated and is accessible with a ladder.
