Description

The perfect family home for country pursuits or daily commutes. Combining an incredible location with high specification design, this five-bedroom Grade II listed converted farmhouse is just as beautiful inside as out and is complimented by outbuildings, equestrian facilities and outdoor space. Combining an incredible location, stunningly renovated Grade II listed farmhouse and equestrian facilities for the most avid of riders to covert, Buck Farm House is a very special property indeed. Finished to an extremely high specification and bursting with original character, from the moment you arrive it's clear to see this is an exceptional home. The property is accessed via electric security gates with video intercom. Upon entering, you follow the sweeping driveway round to the right past the floodlit mange, stables and paddocks before turning into the courtyard directly outside the house, which has ample parking and turning space for in excess of 6 vehicles. Looking at what once was the side of the house, the main front door has now been relocated to this aspect for more convenient access. The original front door actually remains aesthetically on one side of the wraparound gardens, along with a commemorative mural denoting the original builder, year of construction and who laid the foundation stone on Oct 14th 1829. From the courtyard driveway you also have direct access to two of the stables and one of the tack rooms, as well as the rear garden, patio and boot room. Through the Keyhole As you climb the two stone steps and enter through the front door into the reception hall, you immediately get a feel for the house. Original flagstone flooring underfoot and a large brick fireplace with copper detailing greet you. High ceilings, large sash windows and lattice door panelling fill the room with natural light. A contemporary feature wall and splashes of bold colour in the furniture and blinds hint at the stylish and marriage of old-meets-new; as does the video intercom and alarm control panel. And all of it feels welcoming, homely, chic yet classical. To your right, past the fireplace, is the kitchen and this is a true 'wow' kitchen. The most recent refurbishment in the property, a beautiful McEvoy and Rowley installation with two oven AGA, Neff built-in ovens and induction hob, granite worktops and large waterfall kitchen island, full height dual zone wine fridge, under-counter drinks fridge, built in Neff dishwasher, Quooker tap, the list goes on. In fact, we haven't even touched on the Sonos ceiling speakers or mirrored brick-tile splashback behind the AGA's warming plates, which along with the gold and silver pendant lights over the island, continue to connect the classical farmhouse feel to more contemporary living. Just off the kitchen is the boot room with quarry tile floor, sink and outside access, perfect for washing off any muddy paw prints to save the oak wood flooring in the kitchen after a long walk. Next to the boot room door at the far end of the kitchen is the spacious dining area with its exposed brick opening enticing you through towards the large and welcoming expanse of natural light, glass and exposed timber beams that construct the Oak Room. A splendid triple aspect room with French doors on every side and panoramic views of the garden. The vaulted ceiling, log burner and underfloor heating make this room a real year-round living space, be it cosy winter nights stargazing by the fire or summer barbecues on the patio. Heading back to the entrance hall, past the fireplace and to your right lies the internal hallway. At the far end sits the downstairs WC and on the left is the triple aspect drawing room. A large and symmetrical space with doors in the centre and fireplace either side, and this is not by chance. Originally this was two rooms either side of a hallway leading to the original front door. The current owners have opened this space up to create a nearly 30-foot-long room that feels eminently capable of hosting large drinks parties yet still homely and comfortable enough to snuggle into with the family and watch a film. Opposite this room is an opulently proportioned utility room and pantry space with plenty of cupboards and storage as well as a sink and an outside door to the rear garden.
