5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

A BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED HISTORIC 5-BEDROOM FARMHOUSE SET IN 1.86 ACRES WITH SEPARATE SELF CONTAINED 2-BEDROOM ANNEX AND OFFICE IN THIS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER RURAL VILLAGE.....Tumbledown Farm, which is Grade 11 listed, dates according to the listing entry to the 1600s and is a wonderful example of a fine Surrey farmhouse displaying many fine period features such as numerous exposed timbers and floors and a magnificent inglenook fireplace to the drawing room. The property is superbly presented and has been upgraded and expertly extended in recent years to include a stylish oak framed family/garden room with an impressive vaulted ceiling which overlooks the garden. Bedroom 5 and shower room is located to the first floor via the secondary staircase rising from the family/garden room. This added structure which has been sensitively created in the manner of a timber barn is fronted by the double garage together with a cleverly designed 'link' that connects the kitchen via the secondary hall to the family/ garden room. The principal reception rooms are most impressive as is the high-quality bespoke kitchen breakfast room with the 4 oven AGA equally the bedrooms in the original part of the farmhouse are particularly charming with high vaulted ceilings. The en-suite and family bathroom/shower rooms are well-equipped with high quality fittings. The grounds compliment the farmhouse perfectly and have been subtly landscaped very much in the style of the English country garden. The sun terrace is accessed via the kitchen/breakfast room and drawing room the pond forms a most attractive feature being adjacent to the sun terrace and east side of the kitchen. The gardens consist of extensive well-tended lawns and a variety of well-stocked flower/shrub beds and borders with the wide central border giving way to a more informal 'wild garden' area making an attractive naturalist backdrop. There are numerous established mature trees and tall hedges which provide a high degree of seclusion. The paddock is set behind a tall screening conifer hedge which separates the gardens and paddock. The main drive which leads to the timber double garage provides parking and turning for several cars. The annex and offices have been skilfully created and repurposed from a run of old postwar built stables and now form a number of highly useful and well-appointed rooms as can be seen on the floorplan. Flexibility is a key feature here - an annex for extended family, home working for one or more people, music rooms, studios - the possibilities are considerable. Within the far end of this building there is a workshop and a garden store. There is a secondary drive leading from Wheelers Lane to the front of the annex. In all, the grounds in total extend to approximately 1.86 acres. Tumbledown Farm is located on the southern end of Wheelers Lane on the borders of Brockham and Betchworth.
