Description This historic Grade II* listed stone built farmhouse is believed to date from the early 17th Century, has wonderful mullioned windows and offers character and comfort in a spectacular rural setting. A date stone above the secondary entrance door states 1680. Approached by a long driveway the formal entrance opens to a stone flagged hall with a Jacobean staircase. The beamed sitting room with leaded mullioned windows and a real fire has view to the rear and is fitted with library shelving. The drawing room enjoys a triple aspect, a stone Inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, stone flagged floors and mullioned windows to the front and rear.

The farmhouse kitchen is very much the heart of the house, with bespoke built pine cupboards, a double Franke sink and an oil fired AGA augmented by a Siemens Oven & Microwave and an electric hob. There are granite work surfaces, a dishwasher and washing machine. An oak block breakfast bar serves for informal eating and there is plenty of space for entertaining with a large dining area with a bespoke Welsh dresser. A large AGA fridge/freezer is included in the sale. Access to the 6’5” high cellars with its salting tray and stone shelves lies off the kitchen as well as a second entrance door and porch leading to the driveway.

There are three good double bedrooms to the first floor, one with fitted wardrobes and another with a wash hand basin, a family bathroom with a classic white suite including a double ended cast iron bath, separate large shower cubicle, wash hand basin and a w.c and bidet. In addition there is a separate w.c.

A staircases leads up to a second floor landing off which there are two further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a home office, but would make a second bathroom subject to necessary permissions.

The Grade II listed stone built barn is separate and stands at the end of the driveway overlooking fields to the south. There are three distinct levels to the barn with the lower section having four stalls, the mid section three stalls and the top section is used as a workshop/store with access to the first floor. Adjoining the barn are a pair of stables and a garage.

Gardens: The formal gardens extend around the house and extend alongside the driveway to a fruit and vegetable garden with raised beds. The land extends to the north, south and east of the house down to the River Dane where there are the remains of ‘Dublin Row’ Cottages. These were originally provided for workers at Gradbach Mill

Heating: Heating and hot water are provided by an air source heating system. There is a private water supply.
