The Property
Stepping through the front door we are welcomed by the fully glazed entrance porch which provides the perfect place for coats and boots after a wander around the grounds. From here we enter the full height vaulted reception hall, this impressive provides a grand entrance to the farm house and gives access to both the sitting room and dining room. The galleried staircase provides a view over the half landing through to the rear of the hall. Stepping into the sitting room our eye is instantly drawn to the bay window which over looks the front gardens whilst a fireplace gives home to the wood burning stove. From the Sitting Room a second door way leads to the rear of the hall, the stairs rise from here to the half landing which provides a galleried view back to the entrance. Off the hall we find a large airing cupboard and a door leads us to the ground floor shower room and further cloakroom. Back in the hall we step into the kitchen which in turn opens to the dining room providing an excellent space for entertaining. The kitchen and dining room enjoy views over the rear gardens and fields beyond. Stepping back through the kitchen we enter the utility room where we find the boiler room and a rear door provides access to outside. Climbing the stairs from the hall we arrive on the galleried landing. To the left we find the first three bedrooms all of which offer space for a double bed. To the right of the landing we find the family bathroom whilst a door leads to the impressive master bedroom suite.

Cherry Tree Farm farm enjoys a rural yet accessable location. The site extends to just shy of three acres of land providing and excellent opportunity to continue as a working farm or to develop into a substantial private estate. Entering via the in & out drive way we are greeted by the extensive orchard that currently serves as the main part of the business, following the drive way around we pass the single garage and find the charming 'Old Granary Building' and 'Wheel Wrights' workshop. The Granary is constructed in a Suffolk red brick set under a pan tile roof and offers to floors internally whilst the Wheel Wrights workshop is constructed from a hard wood frame and is again set under a pan tile roof. Passing the Orchard we head into the working area of the farm where we find the numerous outbuildings. Power and light are connected within most of these and running water to the main workshop and preparation room. Leaving the working area we open into the main land and firstly find the stocked fishing pond. This delightful established pond enjoys the view back toward the house and provides the perfect spot to sit and take in the location offered. Stepping to the east of the plot we pass a bank of trees and an opening gives access to the Carp lake. Perfect for the serious fisher man or just to enjoy the privacy created by the established borders. Back at the entrance to the farm we find access to the house via the extensive gardens. The gardens to the house have remained separate to the main of the land allowing for a more manicured garden should a purchaser require. The house sits central the garden plot and enjoys the established surroundings.
