Description

STEP INSIDE Offering versatile living space, this lovely home enjoys adaptable accommodation with views across its gardens and paddocks. At the heart of the house is a generous farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast/family room, beautifully designed for everyday living and entertaining. The room features a central island, an inglenook recess and a range of fitted country-style units, creating a warm and welcoming space that perfectly reflects the character of the home. Connected to the kitchen is a generous utility/boot room, providing excellent practical space with direct access to the rear of the property, together with a conveniently positioned cloakroom. A cosy snug with wood burner provides the perfect retreat, while the conservatory overlooks the gardens and paddock and offers an exceptional spot for stargazing, benefitting from minimal light interference. In addition, a generous study offers further versatile space, complemented by a charming sitting room featuring an inglenook-style fireplace with wood burner and enjoying delightful views across the gardens. The first floor provides three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying lovely views across the surrounding fields and gardens, complemented by an en-suite shower room and two built-in wardrobes. A guest bedroom also benefits from views over the gardens and fields and features its own en-suite shower room, while the third bedroom would make an ideal child’s bedroom and is conveniently located opposite the family bathroom. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, served by a well-appointed shower room providing flexible living space that effortlessly adapts to family life while offering comfort and privacy for visiting guests. STEP OUTSIDE Yalham Farm offers an exceptional balance of rural living without isolation. Set back at the end of a shared driveway with just three neighbouring properties, the house enjoys a private position with far-reaching views. Beyond the shared drive, a private entrance leads to Yalham Farm itself, opening into a generous circular driveway that provides easy access to the house, outbuildings, and land. The grounds extend to approximately 5.3 acres and are thoughtfully arranged, with level, open-aspect gardens to the front overlooking the west-facing front field, offering beautiful sunsets and an abundance of wildlife. The gardens are framed by established shrubs, trees, and hedging, with carefully positioned seating areas designed to make the most of the outlook and setting. A large greenhouse is also situated within the grounds, ideal for keen gardeners and productive growing. Immediately to the rear of the house, and attached, is a useful outbuilding currently used as a store (adjoining a neighbouring outbuilding). A triple-bay carport provides ample parking and is equally well suited for log storage. To the side of the property, gated vehicular access leads to the two paddocks, along with a stable block incorporating a tack room, a tractor shed, and a further store, all conveniently positioned close to the paddocks, making the land particularly practical and well laid out. SELLERS INSIGHT This has never felt like just a house – it has truly been our home. What we have loved most is the peace and tranquillity; the loudest sound you hear is birdsong, which is something we never take for granted. The views are a joy at all times of day, and at night the skies are wonderfully clear, with stars that remind you how special this setting really is. The sense of community here has also meant a great deal to us. Our neighbours are friendly and welcoming, yet everyone respects each other’s privacy. With beautiful walks directly from the doorstep, it’s easy to step outside and immediately feel connected to the countryside. I am not moving far away at all as I simply couldn’t imagine leaving the area completely. Utilities and Services: Mains electricity and water are connected. Oil central heating and private drainage. There are PV panels generating income via a feed in tariff. We encourage you to check before viewing a property the potential broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage.
