Property description

A stunning detached Farmhouse in a lovely village setting along a quiet lane, situated on beautiful well tended grounds of around three quarters of an acre (sts) overlooking fields to the rear. This centuries old longhouse style property is packed to the rafters with period features, and is full of character and charm - an ideal home for families or for couples who love to entertain... not to be missed!

The central front door opens into a hallway with an ancient flagstone floor that splits left and right, with a staircase leading to the first floor. There is a ground floor WC and under-stair cupboard for storage. There are in total four Reception Rooms, three of which benefit from fireplaces, including two with solid fuel burning stoves. As well as these there is a small parlour and larder, and the Kitchen Breakfast Room which has an external door to the rear garden.

The largest Reception Room features a second staircase leading to a double Bedroom, the only bedroom which is separate from the rest of the first floor rooms and, with the benefit of built in storage and an en-suite Shower Room, offers itself as either an ideal Master Bedroom, or indeed as a self-contained Guest Suite.

The rest of the first floor is accessed from the central staircase located off the Entrance Hallway; this leads up to a Landing with doors to a WC as well as to a Family Bathroom with bath, WC and bidet. There are three further Bedrooms, all of which are good sized double rooms, and all of which provide built in storage. Two of these bedrooms are interconnected, although if desired there is the potential to separate these by erecting a partition wall to create a corridor leading from the main landing to the fourth bedroom. Both of these interconnected rooms feature mezzanine-style gallery rooms.

Outside the property, there is a mature, well stocked front garden as well as pull in driveway providing parking for several vehicles and carport style garaging. To the rear there is a large and well tended garden, with a range of various planted beds and borders, mature trees, patios and terracing, as well as green houses and garden sheds. The garden backs onto fields with views across to a woodland area. In all, the plot is thought to extend to around three quarters of an acre, subject to survey, and there may be potential to significantly extend the property subject to relevant permissions and building controls.

The village of Byfield is a pretty village located in South Northamptonshire, just a few miles from Banbury, a short trip over the border into Oxfordshire, and from Daventry. There is a local public house and village shop, primary school, and the well regarded Southam College is only around 10 miles by road, as well as there being other options for schooling in nearby Daventry and Banbury.
