Description
Leafields Farm is a charming detached farmhouse which is
believed to date back to 1640 with an addition in 1800. It is
constructed of red brick under slate roofs and stands within
4.69 acres of delightful grounds and paddocks.
The front door leads into a reception hall with the drawing
room off to the right. This is a lovely light room with French
doors at one end opening to the south facing garden. To the
left of the entrance hall is a cloakroom and the dining room
which has an attractive parquet floor, a wide bay window
with a window seat and a fireplace featuring a log burning
stove. To one corner is a spacious drinks cupboard.
The dining room leads through to the kitchen which has
fitted units to one end with the sink located within the bay
window with views over the garden. There is a pantry
cupboard and doors through to the rear hall and the
utility/laundry room.
The rear hall gives access to a porch and the back door
along with a sitting room off and a lovely conservatory
opening to the garden and the office.
The first floor is accessed via two staircases. The main
staircase rises to a landing off which are three double
bedrooms and the family bathroom. The second staircase
leads to the fourth double bedroom and a shower room.
Beyond the sitting room is a single storey wing which is
currently used as a large studio measuring 18’9” by 18’9”, a
workshop and cold room. Subject to planning permission
this would be ideal as a granny annexe or guest wing.
Outside
The beautiful gardens lie mainly to the south of the house
with a large expanse of lawn surrounded by well planted
and established flowerbeds. Along the full length of the
southern face of the house is a lovely stone flagged terrace
providing delightful seating areas. To the far end of the lawn
is a fenced kitchen garden with paved pathways and a
greenhouse.
The four paddocks surround the house and outbuildings with
the two largest paddocks to each side of the driveway. The
two smaller paddocks lie beyond the buildings. They are all
bounded by a mixture of mature hedges, post and rail
fencing and post and wire fencing. All but one of the
paddocks have a water supply and they are planted with a
number of mature trees.
Fixtures and fittings
All fixtures, fittings and furniture such as carpets, curtains,
light fittings, garden ornaments and statuary are excluded

Leafields Farm is approached over a long drive with
paddock fencing to each side. On approaching the house
the driveway splits - to the left into a rear yard and to the
right into the main courtyard. The house and single storey
wing form two sides of the courtyard and the third side is
made up of garaging (two open bays and one enclosed)
and two garden stores.
Rights of way, wayleaves and
easements
Within the rear yard is a further outbuilding which comprises
a two bay open fronted barn, an enclosed barn/store,
stable and garage. There is also an open fronted hay
