2 IVY FARM HOUSE 3 Description Ivy Farm House is an attractive family home dating back to the late 17th Century, situated on the edge of the village. It has views to White Horse Hill during the winter months. The House has been updated over the years to provide five comfortable bedrooms and generous storage but retains many period details including a fine 19th Century wrought iron porch, fireplaces, and exposed beams and timbers. It is presented in an effortless country house style, with a bespoke Parlour Farm kitchen, fine wallpaper and some vintage bathroom fittings. The house has a layout that enables easy circulation and we understand that there is planning permission to extend the kitchen into the adjacent garage to create a breakfast room. The original stables were converted some 40 years ago to create a studio which, subject to the necessary Listed Building and Planning Permissions, could be upgraded to provide ancillary accommodation.

Accommodation Ground Floor The front door opens into the hall, with doors to the two principal reception rooms. The sitting room has an exposed beam and an inglenook fireplace, with a drinks cupboard and shelves to one side. Beyond is the cosy snug, which has bespoke corner storage units and shelving to either side of a brick fireplace with a wood burning stove. The dining room is to the other side of the entrance hall and has a fireplace with a distinctive period pine surround housing a wood burning stove, an exposed beam and an inviting window seat. A pair of part glazed doors open to the kitchen, with bespoke hand painted units with slate worktops; a larder cupboard; sink incorporating a waste disposal unit; water softener; and a Paul Baucuse Rosieres double-oven range with an overhead extractor. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer. A door leads to the adjacent pantry with further hand painted units and a deep under-stairs cupboard.
