Property description

An exciting opportunity to purchase this glorious and substantial family home occupying an envious village location and boasting beautiful farmland views as well as a detached annexe. Farleys Malone has been considerably refurbished over the years and now offers modern and characterful accommodation with wonderful period features including exposed brick work and wooden beams. The vendors enhancements have also included giving the home positive Eco credentials, with photo voltaic solar panels which enable the home to virtually pay for itself.

The accommodation in total, including the annexe, offers nearly 3000sqft arranged over two floors. A particular room of mention is the stunning ‘heart of the home’ kitchen/breakfast room with bi-folding doors to the delightful gardens, creating the perfect space for entertaining. Situated just off of the kitchen is a useful utility room and cloakroom. The sizeable drawing room plays host to a roaring wood burning stove and provides access to the family room and two studies. Making up the remainder of the ground floor accommodation is a welcoming entrance hall of large proportions and dining room. There are five double bedrooms found on the first floor, the master of which has an en-suite shower room and dressing room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a well appointed family bathroom. Detached from the property is a very well presented one bedroom annexe with kitchen/sitting room and shower room perfect for guests or teenagers wanting a sense of independence.

Village homes of this quality are rare, and when combined with grounds approaching half an acre, Farleys Malone is certainly a home not to be missed.

Situation
The property is situated in the popular Bourne Valley village of Porton which has a good range of local facilities including a post office, convenience store, public house, hairdressers, church, village hall and a doctors\‘ surgery.

Outside
The grounds compliment the house wonderfully. The property is approached via a wooden five bar gate leading to a gravelled driveway which provides parking for multiple vehicles. The front gardens are bordered by mature hedging which gives privacy. There is access to the annexe, and then to the rear gardens. The rear gardens, are expansive with the total plot being close to half an acre, being mainly laid to lawn, with shrub borders and a small orchard as well as a very productive vegetable patch. The whole is bordered by mature hedging which affords a high degree of privacy. The gardens have been developed for al fresco entertaining with two terraces accessed from either the kitchen/breakfast room or family room, as well as an \‘outdoor kitchen\‘ and tiki bar. The vendors have also created a private area with a sunken hot tub with changing facilities. There are numerous other outbuildings within the grounds which could be used as a home office or gym, as well as small barns for garden paraphernalia.
