The ground floor provides an excellent balance of formal and informal living space.

The sitting room is a particularly inviting room, centred around a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove and complemented by exposed brickwork and substantial ceiling timbers.

Bi-folding doors connect this space with the adjoining family room, creating an excellent arrangement for everyday family life and entertaining.

The family room itself has a lighter feel, with exposed wall and ceiling timbers and French doors opening directly onto the garden.

Across the hall, the dining room provides a generous setting for more formal occasions and retains considerable character through exposed brickwork, timbers and a further brick-lined fireplace.

Undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house is the substantial kitchen/breakfast room.

Extending to approximately 27ft, it has been fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units under granite work surfaces, together with a large central island providing additional preparation space, storage and breakfast seating.

A comprehensive range of appliances includes twin ovens and a range style cooker with lpg hob.

Numerous windows provide plenty of natural light and reinforce the kitchen's role as one of the principal everyday living spaces within the house.

Beyond the kitchen, an inner hall gives access to a useful utility room and cloakroom, while a separate snug provides another comfortable reception space.

With its generous proportions, this room could equally serve as an occasional ground-floor bedroom if required.

An adjoining study overlooks the garden and provides an excellent dedicated home-working space.

First floor The first floor is arranged around a spacious landing, part of which is galleried and overlooks the floor below.

There are three generous double bedrooms on this level, together with excellent bathroom facilities.

The main bedroom is a particularly well-proportioned room measuring approximately 14'6" x 14'6" and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom.

Bedroom two is another generous double and has the considerable advantage of a Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom, which can also be accessed independently from the landing.

This beautifully appointed room features a freestanding bath, separate large walk-in rainfall shower, twin wash basins and WC.

The third bedroom is also a comfortable double room, completing the excellent first-floor sleeping accommodation.

Second floor Stairs rise to the second floor, where two further bedrooms provide particularly versatile additional accommodation.

One is an impressive room measuring approximately 28'7" x 15'4" at its maximum dimensions and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom.

With its generous proportions, this could make an excellent main bedroom suite, guest accommodation or a combination of bedroom and sitting area.

The remaining bedroom is another substantial double, measuring approximately 14'10" x 12'8".

Both rooms occupy the upper part of this characterful period house and feature areas of reduced ceiling height associated with the roof structure, adding further individuality to the accommodation.

Outside The property is approached from Yaxley Road via an unadopted track before opening onto its own extensive gravelled driveway, providing generous parking and creating an attractive sense of arrival.

Alongside the driveway stands a substantial traditional cart lodge, extending to approximately 551 sq ft, together with an adjoining wood store.

This provides useful covered parking and storage while sitting comfortably within the property's rural setting.

The grounds extend to in excess of half an acre (stms), with the majority lying to the north of the farmhouse.

Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging and fencing, they provide an attractive and comparatively private backdrop to the house, with mature trees and planting giving the garden an established feel.

A pond provides an additional feature within the grounds.

The combination of substantial accommodation, generous gardens and useful outbuildings gives the property the space and versatility expected of a country farmhouse, while the extensive refurbishment has created a home that feels considerably more contemporary than its historic exterior might initially suggest.
