For Sale4 Bedroom House in Appley, Stawley, Wellington, TA21£1,200,000

A charming and beautifully presented 16th century farmhouse, Grade II listed, with excellent living space, useful outbuildings and a good parcel of land. Frogs Farmhouse could not be more typical of a traditional thatched cottage style farmhouse, having been recently rethatched. Worthy of its listing the house, despite it being the subject of a complete restoration programme, retains many character features including a magnificent fireplace in the drawing room with massive bressumer beam and a herringbone fireback. There are other beams throughout the property and perhaps the most notable feature of the house is the particularly spacious and well designed vaulted ceilinged barn, now providing a well fitted kitchen with a Heritage AGA style range cooker, electric range cooker, well fitted cabinets and a central island with large worksurface, which has underfloor heating. French doors out from the kitchen lead onto the pool terrace. Off the kitchen there is a new fully fitted utility room. There are stairs up to a mezzanine study area. In addition, there is a small study beyond the drawing room and a sitting room again with an inglenook fireplace although not used at the moment. The principal bedroom is close to the well fitted family bathroom, a smaller single bedroom together with two further double rooms, one en suite makes a good four bedroom family property. A traditional five bar gate opens into the gravelled drive and passes the detached triple garage building with storage on the first floor. There is a secondary gate from the road which runs to the rear of the triple garage with hard standing and a solid drive to another access gate to the paddock. The drive continues to open out to ample parking and is edged by the large expanses of lawn with a number of mature fruit trees, ornamental trees and a wildlife pond with mature pondlike planting. A five bar gate leads into the paddock with field shelter and a further three acre paddock lies beyond.
