The formal dining room at the rear enjoys beautiful garden views, while a cosy sitting room with a woodburner and stone fireplace provides an intimate retreat. The kitchen/breakfast room, positioned alongside the main reception space, also benefits from lovely views. A generous utility room offers access to both the front and rear of the property, leading to a boiler room, lobby, and farm office.A separate wing of the barn has been converted into a spacious ground-floor bedroom suite with an additional reception room and mezzanine, ideal for use as a guest suite, games room, or entertaining space. Two staircases provide access to the first floor, where the principal suite is accompanied by three further bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom. Additionally, an attached self-contained cottage offers a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom— currently occupied by farm staff which is ideal for guests or multigenerational living.Windrush Farm is approached via a private drive, with ample parking at the front overlooking the paddock. The south-facing rear garden features a terrace, lawn, vegetable garden, and mature trees and shrubs, all set against breathtaking farmland views.
