Description

"A period farmhouse making a wonderful family home; with a detached, oak framed cottage.

Description

Lower Ratlake Farm is a substantial period farmhouse. The property benefits from a public footpath that lies opposite providing some wonderful walking routes. The property is approached over a winding tarmac driveway, which runs past the cottage known as The Pig Barn, to a large gravel courtyard that lies adjacent to the house and garaging.

The house itself, with its recently fitted timber framed windows, is approached through a front door leading to an entrance hall. However like so many farmhouses, most access the property through a porch and into the kitchen breakfast room. There is also a back hall dating from 1835. The house has four reception rooms in total, including a good sized drawing room with log burner and patio doors leading out to the south westerly terrace. Double doors from this room lead through to the dining room, with a large open fireplace and south westerly aspect. There is another spacious living room with double patio doors leading to a west facing terrace and a cosy snug with a wood burner. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of bespoke kitchen units with granite work surfaces and a fitted electric Aga. Planning permission was granted in 2022 to extend the kitchen should one wish to ref. 22 01497 FULLS . A utility room and ground floor cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs from both the front and rear halls of the house lead to the first floor. The principal bedroom suite is an excellent size and overlooks the property s delightful grounds.
