The Property
Valley Farm is a delightful family home circa early 19th century with later additions and alterations including the restoration of an adjoining barn incorporating it as either part of the main accommodation for the house or alternatively as a separate self-contained wing.
The house is set at the end of a long drive enjoying a most peaceful situation with good views and a large range of outbuildings that could, subject to the normal planning consents being obtained, be converted into a variety of uses.
Around1991 the property has been totally renovated and restored including re-roofing, rewiring, re-plumbing, installation of damp proof course, timber treatment, complete new fixtures and fittings, many of which have recently been updated, (kitchen and bathrooms). During 2003 the adjoining barn was restored to create a self-contained property that links into the main residence. and can be incorporated into the main accommodation if required.
Restoration works have also taken place outside the property with major re-landscaping to the gardens and the creation of 5 stables from a former outbuilding and there is a large barn which could be converted into an undercover mnage if required as well as a large workshop and store. In addition close to the property there is a double garage which is presently used as a games room with 2 offices and shower room and, subject to planning consent being obtained, could be converted into a further annexe if required.
Outside
The property is approached over common land onto a private concrete driveway. The drive leads through a pair of electric security gates mounted on brick pillars and leads up to the house. There is separate parking for the adjoining barn. The drive then leads to the detached brick garage with up and over doors currently being used as a games room, offices and shower room. The driveway also extends to the south side of the house, through a 5 bar gate onto a large grassed area and around to the stables and through another 5 bar gate onto the top field.
On the southeast side of the garage a further drive extends past the vegetable garden, partly fenced and onto a large concrete yard serving the main outbuildings comprising a large workshop/store, a large barn which could, subject to planning consent being obtained, be converted into an indoor mnage with concrete floor, 5 stables and stable yard. All these outbuildings benefit from power and water connected.
The remaining formal gardens and grounds are set around the house largely lawned with a paved seating area, mixed shrubs, trees and plants. In all the grounds extend to 4.7 acres (est).
