Combining traditional exterior design with the latest building standards and being just one of two exclusive new homes occupying this enviable position, Mays Farm House provides over 4,000 square feet of accommodation. This includes a large entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, study, cloakroom and WC, kitchen/living room and utility room on the ground floor. To the first floor there is a very light open and galleried landing, the Master bedroom with its own dressing room and full bathroom en-suite, a Guest suite (with dressing room and large en-suite), three further double bedrooms and family bathroom.

To complement this already sizeable property there is a detached open front triple garage and workshop/store with further spacious and versatile full length accommodation over, with its own entrance hall and staircase. This space has a wealth of potential uses and the necessary consent to finish as a buyer would like. Whether as a granny annexe, letting accommodation, work from home facility, gym, cinema room or hobby space the developers would be happy to provide a quotation to complete the necessary works. Plans are available showing one suggested use as an annexe and these are available on request from the agents.
The gravel courtyard provides parking for a number of additional vehicles and is accessed through electric gates from the no-through village lane. The gardens are already planted and this very special property will be ready for occupation in June 2014.
