Description
A delightful 28.66 acre or thereabouts, small holding set in an ideallic, mature, elevated position overlooking the unspoilt surrounding countryside.The property includes a spacious detached bungalow, extensive range of modern and traditional outbuildings clustered around an enclosed concrete yard and quality agricultural lands surrounding the farmyard.
Originally a thatched cottage, 'Rockmount' was renovated and extended in the 1960's to provide versatile, spacious accommodation on two floors. The property is fitted with oil fired central heating and partial double glazing. An attached annex includes a large games room, laundry room and store, which if desired could easily be converted into a granny flat or teenager apartment (subject to planning).
The mature gardens surrounding the residence on three sides are terraced with lawns divided by a fine stand of mature Beech trees with resident squirrels, and extensive beds of ornamental and flowering shrubs and enclosed with a small copse of trees, providing good privacy without compromising the views.
The property is approached from a sweeping bitmac drive to the front of the residence, and to the farmyard enclosed with a good selection of outbuildings designed to house pigs and sheep, but easily adaptable for a wide range of agricultural and or commercial purposes, or perhaps conversion to holiday cottages (subject to planning).
