A detached Grade II listed former farmhouse with outbuildings, tennis court and paddock situated in a lovely setting at the end of a quiet no through lane adjoining open countryside.
The Property West End Farm is listed and dates from the 17th century with 18th and 19th century additions and later alterations. It is rendered under a double Roman tiled roof. A two-storey wing to the east with an external cellar, and covered area with pantiles on timber piers at the rear, forms an inner courtyard. The original pump remains as does a heavily studded rear entrance door into the house. West End Farmhouse has been let for very many years and run as a working farm until the end of 2024. The house will require some updating, but it has tremendous scope to alter, and extend, subject to any listed planning consents to provide a lovely family house in a quiet but not isolated rural setting. There are many features appropriate to the period including sash widows with window seats and working shutters. A flagstone floor in the entrance hall, beamed ceilings, the remains of an old dresser in the study, pitch pine panelled doors, and cast-iron period grates. In more recent years, the stone fireplace in the dining room has been fitted with a log effect gas fireplace, and there is a pretty period fireplace in the sitting room with decorative tile slips. An attractive staircase with simple spindles rises to the first floor. On the first floor there is scope to re-configure and extend the existing layout, subject to any necessary planning consents, to provide larger accommodation for family use.OutsideWest End Farm is approached from the end of West End Lane, between concrete posts, and over a part gravel and cobbled drive leading to a large parking area for several vehicles, behind the house.Paddock, Tennis Court and GardensThe paddock lies to the north of the rear parking area and is contained in part, by post and rail fencing and high hedgerow, and adjoins open countryside.
