GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION
Barguse Farm is an attractive detached former farmhouse situated in a rural setting alongside the well known Barguse Riding Centre. Substantially extended and virtually rebuilt approximately seven years ago, the house combines largely modern construction with the appearance and proportions of a traditional double fronted farmhouse. The works included a new roof, replacement electrical, heating and plumbing installations, and the addition of the kitchen extension. The original stone walls in the sitting room were tanked. The LPG tank and septic tank were also replaced. Large gardens provide an appealing setting, with an extensive lawn, established planting and a terrace adjoining the rear of the house. A double garage and driveway parking complete the property, with the gardens and grounds extending to approximately 0.7 of an acre in all.
THE PROPERTY
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with particularly generous living space on the ground floor. An entrance porch opens into a spacious sitting room with a wood burning stove set within a recessed fireplace. The kitchen/dining room is a superb feature, extending to over 37 feet in length and providing ample space for dining and informal seating. Fitted with a range of units, built-in appliances and a central island, it enjoys excellent natural light from a rooflight and windows overlooking the rear garden, with two sets of double doors opening onto the terrace. A separate utility/boot room with an external door and a cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and separate shower enclosure. The principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, with two bedrooms overlooking the front and the third overlooking the rear garden.
