DESCRIPTION
Monks Farm is an attractive substantial Grade II listed 17th century detached farmhouse. The elevations are of local stone with original sash windows set in to stone mullions below a red pantile roof. During the last 10 years the property has been complete restored to a very high standard incorporating a wealth of fine crafted hardwoods. Considerable care has been taken to retain the character features including original inglenook fireplaces and heavy oak beamed wall and ceilings.
The garden is a real feature of the property. It extends to approximately 0.7 acre and is beautifully planted with an array of unusual trees, shrubs and flowers and is maintained to a high standard with feature ponds, more formal and family lawned area. A loggia extends from the rear of the garage giving Italianate outdoor seating area. The electric gates lead to a sweeping driveway which in turn leads to the detached garage and workshop.
The property is in excellent order throughout and will appeal to a purchaser requiring a restored period home of character in need of minimal future maintenance. Cobb Farr Residential highly recommend an internal viewing of this superb home.
