Offen Farm, Grafty Green

A rare chance to acquire a beautiful Grade II listed country home in a stunning secluded plot of 4.37 acres with paddock, orchards, extensive lawns and a home that oozes character and charm in this wonderful rural setting.
Offen Farm has been owned by the same vendors for the past 44 years which is a testament to what a much loved and happy home it has been for the family over the years. During that time it has been extended and renovated to the house you see today and yet offers further potential for alteration (subject to consents). Throughout the property one is greeted by beautifully coloured beams and a wonderful sense of history.
The charming accommodation comprises entrance hall, drawing room with inglenook fireplace featuring a bread oven and salt store, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with coal fuelled Rayburn, utility/cloakroom and a snug. To the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms, a bathroom with superb views across the rear lawn and a separate shower room with walk in shower.
The house is approached by a gated shingle driveway which leads down a hedged drive to a parking area and a detached double garage. The front garden features a Bethersden Marble ragstone path lined by dwarf box hedging and a cherry tree arch leading to the front door. There is also a small front pond and a variety of shrubs and borders. and wonderful views across the road to the countryside opposite. To the side and rear there are beautifully tended extensive lawns, ideal for a family, entertaining and enjoying. Along with this, there is a beautiful orchard with over 20 varieties of fruits and 55 cobnut trees, a vegetable plot, useful outbuildings along with a pole barn which subject to consents, could be developed into an annexe, office or useful barn. In addition, a wonderful, private 1.82 acre paddock would suit those looking to have a horse or small holding.
