Water Farm A beautifully presented detached period farmhouse surrounded by its own glorious gardens with water frontage and further extensive grounds approached from a long sweeping driveway from the road. The origins of the house are believed to date back to the late 18th Century and whilst there are many original features, the property has been thoughtfully adapted over the years to create a light and airy home. The accommodation offers considerable flexibility combining three separate reception rooms and five bedrooms (two en-suite). The property benefits from a separate former Granary converted some years ago to a 2 bedroom holiday cottage producing a useful income. Beyond the Granary and adjacent to the front gardens is a well arranged courtyard of car parking and buildings including workshops and open fronted garaging. There are also stables and a hard tennis court. In all about 2.94 acres. History The house known as Water Farm was built in 1720 next to the watering hole on the deer park which was part of Scotts Hall Estate. The Granary was added in 1811 with second hand materials used from the original Scotts Hall that had been burnt down earlier. Water Farm was then bought by Evegate Manor who converted the property into two cottages for farm workers. It stayed as two properties until 1960 when it turned back into one dwelling which still remains.
