"A beautiful stone-built farmhouse with annexe, outbuildings, gardens and land of around 17 acres"

The Property
Bleach Green Farmhouse is a gorgeous traditional stone farmhouse, believed to have been built in 1764, offering the perfect blend of character, original features, modern luxury and vintage chic. Elegant touches and graceful styling flow throughout every part of the property, including a fabulous annexe that is currently configured as a gym, but could become a charming additional cottage, subject to securing the relevant permissions. The property rests within stunning landscaped gardens and grounds, with around 17 acres of private land creating a haven of peace and tranquility.

The beautiful handmade, bespoke, farmhouse-style kitchen is the heart of this home with its range cooker, substantial island bench with hob and plenty of space to socialise. The modern fitted units work seamlessly with the character of beams, wood panelling and a flagged stone floor. Tasteful colour palettes combine with glazed doors, sash windows and access into the conservatory to create a light, bright, welcoming space.

The bespoke conservatory is an amazing feature of Bleach Green Farm, providing the opportunity to appreciate the stunning gardens throughout the year. The conservatory is both striking and inviting, with the room completely bathed in natural light from the glazing that wraps around three sides and soars overhead.

There is more reception space in the sitting room, a warm and cosy room with a feature fireplace housing a woodburning stove. The sitting room has a dual aspect with one window looking into the glazed garden room on the corner of the house. The garden room provides a peaceful nook to sit with a good book for a quiet escape.

The ground floor further benefits from a well-equipped utility room that adjoins the kitchen. There is also a ground floor shower room with walk-in rainfall shower, wash hand basin, WC and the delightful surprise of an original farmhouse range that has been retained as an unusual feature.

A concealed staircase leads to the first floor with three luxurious double bedrooms; each room has fitted storage and a window that frames the sensational view over the landscaped gardens to the unspoiled countryside beyond. The boutique bathroom features a freestanding rolltop bath, wash hand basin and WC.

The office links to the house externally, but is accessed independently to provide extensive work space that keeps home and work life completely separate. The office has underfloor heating, an antique woodburning stove and crucially benefits from high speed fibre broadband that connects to the property.

Annexe
The detached annexe is currently used as a gym but could become a fantastic studio cottage, subject to securing the necessary planning consents. There is scope to create an open plan studio layout incorporating sitting, dining, kitchen and bedroom areas. The current cloakroom with wash hand basin, WC and plumbing for a bath or shower could become a separate bathroom or shower room to complete a fully self-contained annexe, and underfloor heating is already in place.

Externally
A private country lane winds to Bleach Green Farm, tucked away in a peaceful and tranquil location. The approach leads onto an extensive gravelled parking area with the house ahead, annexe and outbuildings to one side and the landscaped gardens of around an acre to the other. Behind the house one of the two paddocks is planted as an orchard with over thirty fruit trees including apple, pear, plum. The vibrant gardens have been thoughtfully created to offer an abundance of colour and variety, with a host of carefully considered areas or garden ‘rooms’ that contain mature shrubs, trees and plantings surrounded by manicured hedging and topiary. There is a cottage garden to the front, planted with old fashioned scented roses, wisteria, peonies and a magnificent magnolia, a white garden, a formal herb garden, a rose garden and an apple arch of ‘Truly Scrumptious’ apples. An idyllic raised water lily pond and an impressive summerhouse also feature.

To one side of the gravelled area is the stable block and hay shed, constructed from pretty red brick with slate roof. The stables are just as well presented and maintained as the rest of Bleach Green Farm and offer the opportunity for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

Land sits to the east and west of the property, with River Deerness meandering by to the north, to which Bleach Green Farm has fishing rights. Beyond the river is more land including ancient woodland that is a haven for a profusion of wildlife. In all the property extends to around 17 acres and has direct access to miles of public bridleways, cycle paths and country walkways.
