"Farm Cottage is an enchanting, Grade II listed ironstone cottage offering four bedrooms and expansive ground floor accommodation. It has been modernised throughout but retains much of its 18th century character and sits on a well established plot on the edge of the sought after village of Egleton.

Ground Floor The ground floor in brief comprises a breakfast kitchen, five reception rooms, a utility room, and a downstairs shower room. The kitchen and three of the reception rooms sit to the front of the property, all dual aspect rooms allowing plenty of light. The breakfast kitchen has a comprehensive range of timber built units with a variety of integrated appliances, a large pantry cupboard, an oil AGA with separate electric companion, and a central island with breakfast bar. To the left of the kitchen is the breakfast room study that leads through to the spacious utility room. The utility room provides further storage, a walk in airing cupboard, secondary sink, space for white goods, access to the ground floor shower room and a stable door out to the rear garden.

To the right of the kitchen are two further reception rooms, the dining room first with stairs rising to the first floor and a door into the lounge. The lounge has windows to three elevations, a useful understairs cupboard and a beautiful inglenook fireplace with open fire and timber beam.

Beyond the dining room, to the rear of the property is the main living room with two sash windows looking out to the garden and a fireplace with log burner and timber mantelpiece. A door from here opens into the timber framed garden room offering wonderful views over the garden and countryside beyond with a French door opening out to the patio.
