DESCRIPTION
With uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside, the conversion of Middlefield House was completed by the current owners in November 2007, having the benefit of gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Adjoining the property, behind the electric wood panel gates, there is an enclosed yard with hard standing parking for four vehicles, with additional parking to the front and side of the property. The gardens and paddocks extend to approximately 2.5 acres with mature parkland trees. A separate outbuilding has permission to be converted into a range of garages, one of which will form part of the title of the property. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning and consents, the property could benefit from a menage along with loose boxes and a hay store/tack room.
GROUND FLOOR
The main entrance to Middlefield House is via a large, light Entrance Hallway with solid oak flooring and staircase leading to the first floor. Double doors lead into the large living/dining kitchen with gas fired AGA, contemporary wood burning stove, and with bespoke kitchen units with solid oak surfaces, beneath which are the integral fridges and plumbing for washer appliances. In addition there is a Belfast sink, glass fronted display cabinet and access to understairs storage. Solid oak flooring is throughout, with the stable door and windows to the front taking advantage of the magnificent views. The entrance hallway leads off into the playroom/study, with double patio doors leading out to the garden beyond. In addition there is a downstairs cloakroom/utility with WC, wash basin, enclosed shower and plumbing for washing machine/drier. The bright and spacious fourth bedroom completes the ground floor layout.
