Description
A charming Grade II listed former farmhouse of great character, with a beautiful mature garden setting in a highly convenient semi rural location.
Gunshot Farmhouse is a most attractive family house of enormous charm and character. Surrounded by private and beautiful mature gardens and grounds, it is set well back from the lane and adjoins open farmland.
The accommodation in the main house flows from the welcoming entrance hall with three principal living rooms and a study. The kitchen is very well-proportioned, with an Aga, French doors out to the garden, and plenty of space for a large family kitchen table. There is a substantial pantry, and a separate utility room. The drawing room features a fine inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove, and there are some notable exposed timber beams throughout. A lovely garden room features extensive glazing to three sides overlooking the garden, with French Windows opening out to the rear lawn.
Upstairs on the first floor, there are four very well-proportioned bedrooms, with the main bedroom having both an ensuite shower room, and a dressing area with fitted wardrobes. There are two further bath/shower rooms, one ensuite.
Up on the second floor, there's extensive additional accommodation adding a useful den/tv room, as well as a snug, a fifth bedroom, and a large loft store.
Outside
The house is approached over a private gravel drive, crossing the wide grass verge, and through electrically operated gates. There is a wide parking and turning area in front of the triple cart shed garage.
The landscaped gardens surround the house, which is set centrally within the grounds that extend in all to about 3 acres. The pond is an outstanding feature, overlooked by a covered garden pavilion. Other outbuildings include a greenhouse, a summerhouse, and a stable block/store rooms with adjoining pool plant room. There is a heated outdoor swimming pool, and a hard surface tennis court.
From the drive, a path leads to a detached coach house barn. This is splendid self-contained ancillary accommodation; currently an office and gym, with a kitchenette, a shower room, and a bed/sitting room on the first floor.
There is also a rear gravel drive for additional access for service vehicles. This drive leads directly on to a quiet lane.
