Elms Farm is a magnificent, detached Grade II listed home, thoughtfully converted from charming stone-built barns into a sleek and stylish contemporary residence, combining striking architectural character with clean lines, neutral décor and exquisite bespoke fittings. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and living area, defined by a vaulted ceiling and exposed timber eaves. The kitchen is fitted with chic, minimalist cabinetry and integrated Miele appliances, with ample space for both dining and seating. Bi-fold doors span the west-facing elevation, while the adjoining glazed corridor also opens via bi-folds, creating a superb flow for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Further reception space includes a games room with full-height glazing and the main formal sitting room, featuring a corner woodburning stove, bespoke bookcase with library ladder and an impressive double-vaulted ceiling. There are two well-presented double bedrooms on the ground floor, both benefitting from en suite spa-style shower rooms with walk-in showers. Upstairs, the landing provides a generous secondary space, ideal for use as a home gym or study. The galleried landing leads to a further three bedrooms, including one with a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room, while two are served by a large family bathroom with freestanding bathtub, floating dual washbasins and a walk-in rainfall shower. At the front of the property, a five-bar wooden gate opens to a gravel courtyard parking area with ample parking space and access to the integrated double garage. To the north side of the property a pedestrian gate opens to a paved footpath which leads to the rear garden. The beautifully landscaped and maintained gardens are to the rear and side and feature spacious paved al fresco dining areas, with border beds bursting with colourful flowering perennials and established shrubs. Enhancing the outdoor space further there is a Victorian potting shed offering excellent versatility for gardening or storage and there is a characterful stone outbuilding with services suitable for a home office or gym. Beyond that, a level lawn extends to the west, bordered by established hedgerows and backing on to open countryside. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
