Beautifully situated south facing farmhouse set within almost 70 acres of undulating pasture and woodland on the edge of a secluded Cotswold valley close to amenities.
Derryards Farm is approached through low dry stone walls down a long farm road leading to a courtyard parking area next to the house. Constructed of Cotswold stone under a tile roof, the accommodation is arranged over 3 floors providing a wonderful family home in a sensational rural setting that is both secluded and accessible. As the house is not listed, the property offers scope for further improvement and enlargement (subject to planning).The ground floor consists of a light and bright reception room with an adjoining conservatory, offering a lovely outlook over the gardens and grounds. There is a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room/reception hall, study, utility room and cloakroom that completes the rest of the ground floor.The first floor has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Of particular note is the master bedroom suite which is double aspect with great proportions and far reaching views over the valley. The second floor is currently arranged as two bedrooms but could easily be made into an internal flat or bedroom suites, dependent on the needs of the incoming purchaser.OutbuildingsThere are some extremely useful outbuildings with a pretty stone storage barn making up one side of the courtyard parking area that has been part converted into a farm office and additional storage. There is a 4 bay open sided car port and separately is a useful steel and wood framed agricultural barn that extends to approx. 4,800 sq ft (450 sq m).The GroundsThe gardens are pretty and well laid out with a vegetable garden at one end and areas of lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. There is a patio accessed off the conservatory and entrance/dining hall that leads onto the lawn with far reaching views over the owned land and stunning valley.The FarmlandThe land is predominantly pasture with stock proof fencing and water to most of the fields. There are wooded copses interspersed throughout, a stream and a small lake running through the valley. The land is registered with the Rural Payments Agency and is part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. There is a grazing agreement in place.
