"Home Farm represents a fabulous opportunity for a family to acquire this substantial lifestyle home situated in the heart of Normanton on Soar with 59 river frontage and mooring and fishing rights. This fabulous Grade II listed farmhouse dates back to the 1700s and has been meticulously upgraded to a high specification by the current owners. The property is approached behind electric double gates onto a large gravelled driveway which leads to a double garage. The main home boasts a fabulous central dining kitchen with Philip Dowse kitchen and Aga. Situated off is a sitting room, dining room, lounge, cloakroom, utility room, wine cellar and a superb rear gym home office with full width glazing and French doors leading out into the garden and views towards the river. On the upper floors is a stunning principal bedroom suite consisting of bedroom, custom dressing room and luxury en suite, three further bedrooms and a further bathroom and shower room. There is also a connecting self contained one bedroom annex with architectural glazed gable offering tremendous views with a high quality living kitchen, large bedroom and bathroom. This is currently self contained but was previously integrated into the main home and could be reverted back if desired. The south west facing plot totals approximately 0.375 acres of beautifully landscaped and designed gardens with entertaining and family living in mind. There is a large deck abutting the river with steps leading directly into the water for wild swimming and a fantastic riverside boathouse for convenient storage of canoes and paddleboards. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large composite deck with electric roof pergola with outdoor heating and a sunken firepit. Spectacular views from the home and the garden can be enjoyed with the most magnificent sunsets. All in, this property is a real one off and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
