Description
Fieldgate Farmhouse is a very attractive Grade II listed property situated in Ugley Green. Surrounded by beautiful mature trees and rolling countryside, the house would suit anyone who is looking for the rural way of life but needs excellent transport links. The property is entered up a gated gravel drive which leads to the house, annex and garaging. There is parking for multiple vehicles. There is a well maintained front garden and pretty picket fence. A lovely mature tree line provides privacy to the south east.
Internally, the property is a five bedroom main house with connected two bedroom annex. On the ground floor the main house has a good flow around multiple reception areas including a fantastic drawing room, cosy living room, study and fabulous kitchen/dining area which leads on to the garden and terrace. The house is superbly presented throughout with all bathrooms having been refurbished very tastefully within the last five years. The house is Grade II listed dating back to 14th Century and is beautifully presented with a wealth of period features, including lovely inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams. The current occupants have owned the house for over 25 years and in that time the house has been meticulously maintained. Refurbishment works include the fitted kitchen which is tastefully styled and includes a fabulous oak topped island unit, Aga and integrated Siemens appliances. There is a useful utility room and guest WC and multiple doors leading to the outside. There are five bedrooms logically arranged around the central landing. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, generous and includes fully fitted wardrobes and a fantastic en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower. There are four further bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a dressing area. The views are delightful and either over look the garden or the countryside. Refurbished in 2019 , the annex has the most magnificent double height vaulted ceiling kitchen living room with stunning exposed beams. It is the perfect blend of modern living within a period property. The kitchen area has an island unit complete with breakfast bar and doors which lead to the garden. This could also be used as a 2nd entrance to the annex ideal for multi-generational living as there is a 2nd access to the property up the lane.
The gardens & grounds are absolutely beautiful. There is a tennis court and several areas designed for entertaining and relaxation. Planted with additional privacy in mind, there is a magnificent conifer hedge separating a paddock from the main house and garden.
Overall, this house is superb. It is in fantastic condition throughout and the space is flexible. The house is positioned centrally within the whole plot and enjoys lovely views.
