The Property
Situated at the end of a long sweeping drive is Wootten Green Farmhouse, a former farmhouse of circa 16th century. This beautiful property has accommodation arranged over three floors with many original features.
The accommodation offers a good deal of natural light, with generous proportions and adaptable living. The ground floor is accessed by the front entrance porch, which leads into the kitchen. To the east of the house is the kitchen, utility and the boot room/shower room, with further access into the side garden.By walking back through the kitchen, you will find the two main reception rooms and the stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is particularly cosy, with exposed beams and a charming red-brick inglenook fireplace with an inset wood burning stove. The dining hall is an exceptional room, with a large cross beam, views down the gardens and a solid wooden floor. The room is well suited for parties and entertaining measuring 18'6'' x 17'10''. Hidden at the back of the dining hall is a study/home office.
Set across the first floor are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The two largest bedrooms are situated at either gable end. The family bathroom has been refitted in recent years with a roll top style bath, low level wc and a pedestal hand wash basin. A further staircase winds up to the second floor attic room/fourth bedroom.

The property has the most attractive gardens which are well proportioned to the front, side and rear of the farmhouse. By driving up the long graveled drive, you will be able to admire the front lawns, which have a variety of fruit trees planted throughout the grounds. Close to the house is a further graveled parking area, with gated access to the rear and side gardens. The remaining gardens are laid to lawn, with a number of trees providing shade and seclusion. The garden also houses a greenhouse, summerhouse and a substantial brick and tiled outbuilding. The total garden extends to just under 1 acre (sts).
