A SPRAWLING black-and-white timber-frame home in the Herefordshire countryside is for sale.
Agent Strutt and Parker says on Zoopla that Colliers Farm, in Broxwood near Kington, is a family home offering more than 3,000 sq ft of flexible accommodation over two floors.
It is for sale with a guide price of £1,150,000.
Period features at the four-bed home include exposed wall and ceiling beams and an original inglenook fireplace.
The ground floor opens from a porch into a generous sitting room with a door to the attached barn and a large L-shaped family/dining room with a door to an inner hall and useful cloakroom.
The spacious central kitchen/breakfast room adjacent has a range of units including a large central island, wooden worktops, a four-oven Aga, modern integrated appliances and a larder.
Agents say also on the ground floor is a beautiful drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, as well as a generous utility room.
The first floor provides a spacious principal bedroom with a full-height rear aspect picture window, dressing room and modern en-suite bathroom, two further generous double bedrooms, a well-proportioned office, or bedroom four, and a modern family bathroom.
The home is approached over a sweeping drive providing parking for multiple vehicles.
Extending to some 2.93 acres, the garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to lawn and interspersed with mature specimen trees, bordered by attractive planting and features numerous seating areas, a summer house and a large pond – the whole enjoying far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
Together with the 32-foot L-shaped barn attached to the main house, the home also benefits from a detached two-storey brick-built barn adjacent to the terrace and extending to almost 1,300 sq ft.
As part of an upgrade programme, considerable work has already been carried out to the property.
Phase one has been completed and includes the installation of a new and relocated oil tank, a new septic tank and a mains water supply from the highway. The adjacent outbuilding has been upgraded and converted
Inside the main house, a new utility room has been created with external access to the garden.
Phase two of the upgrade is to develop the partially converted barn, which is attached to the main house, by creating a double-height sitting room and two additional bedrooms.
Architects' concept drawings are available, together with recent ecology surveys. Agreement in principle to this development has also been given by the local planning authority.
