Hollow Farmhouse is an attractive period farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century, of stone and timber framed construction and brick inserts under a tiled roof. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to approximately 2,661 sq ft of living accommodation and benefits from panoramic views over its own land. The farmhouse provides modern living throughout, whilst retaining the traditional features and charm including stone fireplaces, timber beams, and flag stone floors. The front door is positioned beneath an oak-framed porch, opening into the main entrance hall with traditional timber beams. This leads to an inviting family kitchen and dining area complete with AGA. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room and boot room. A door provides access directly out on to the garden to the rear of the house. There are two wellproportioned receptions rooms accessed from the entrance hall, comprising the sitting room with a large traditional fireplace with woodburner and a family room with bi-folding doors that open onto a west-facing terrace, ideal for outside dining and entertaining. From the family room is a useful space currently utilised as a utility and laundry room.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom which benefits from an en-suite. A further bedroom features a private roof terrace enjoying views over the garden and neighbouring paddocks. There are two additional good sized bedrooms, one with an en-suite and exposed feature timber beams. A large family bathroom completes the first floor. Gardens and grounds border the house to the north and western elevations and are currently laid to lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and trees. To the front, a parkland-style garden enclosed by metal estate fencing frames the house and enjoys uninterrupted rural views. A tennis court is situated to the north of the garden. To the front of the house, a spacious gravelled area allows for ample parking. The farmhouse has the potential to be extended to the rear providing further accommodation, if required (subject to the necessary planning consents).
