The Property
A truly captivating Grade II listed country home, Eagle Farm House is rich in history and brimming with period character. Believed to date from around 1598, with sympathetic later additions, the property showcases an exceptional blend of heritage charm and generous proportions, including notably high ceilings throughout.
Approached via a long, private driveway and set well back from the road, the sense of arrival is both welcoming and impressive. The house stands proudly, its striking façade hinting at the character within.
Inside, the accommodation flows beautifully, offering both inviting living spaces and practical versatility. The sitting room is a standout, featuring impressive exposed wall timbers, wide oak floorboards and a charming brick fireplace, complemented by an adjacent Regency-era display and storage cupboard. At the heart of the home, the dining room provides a wonderful setting for entertaining and family gatherings alike, while the kitchen is perfectly suited to both cooking and socialising.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a well-appointed utility room, a spacious study, ideal for home working, and a cloakroom. Access to the cellar completes this level.
Up the stairs, to four characterful bedrooms, two of which benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms, alongside a separate family bathroom. The staircase continues to the top floor, where an additional reception space and bedroom provide flexibility for guests, hobbies or quiet retreat.
Externally
Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 1.67 acres (STMS), offering a delightful balance of formal and natural landscaping. The driveway passes through a wildflower meadow and alongside a large shared wildlife pond, enhancing the sense of rural tranquillity. Mature specimen trees and a generous south-facing terrace create ideal spaces for relaxing and entertaining outdoors.
To the rear, the property continues to impress with a detached double garage, ample parking, and a productive kitchen garden with raised beds. There is also a lawned area, along with a separate brick-built garden store and wood store.
