House and Gardens at Salthouse Farm

DESCRIPTION
Salthouse Farm dates back to the late 1800’s. Built of stone and brick under a tiled roof, it has been extended over the years and was a working farm until the early 1990’s, it now presents a modern family home.

The accommodation in the house is well laid out for family living. There are three good reception rooms on the ground floor along with a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory and games room. The drawing room and sitting room have open fireplaces and the drawing room which is situated on the south side of the house, has French doors opening to the patio and garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully fitted with hand painted cream base and wall units. Appliances include a Britannia double oven with halogen hob, two fridges, dishwasher, microwave and water filter. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, well fitted with storage cupboards along with a sink unit and plumbing for a washing machine. The back door opens to the courtyard.

Glazed double doors open from the kitchen to the conservatory which has wonderful views and in turn has French doors opening to an attractive round terrace on the east side of the house. Off the conservatory is the games room which has double doors opening to the courtyard and a staircase rises to a study / sitting room / bedroom. Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom and bathroom. Under the dining room is a vaulted cellar housing the boiler.

On the first floor the master suite comprises a double bedroom with wonderful views to the south and east along with an ensuite shower room and dressing room with fitted hanging and shelved cupboards, drawers and eaves storage. There are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Directly across the courtyard, to the north of the house, is the Coach House. The ground floor consists of a large open plan kitchen and living room, with modern facilities and underfloor heating throughout. Beyond the kitchen/living room is a bedroom, utility and downstairs shower room with WC. The first floor consists of three bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The gardens and grounds are well laid out to combine amenity with functionality, all benefitting from the far-reaching views. The main garden is to the south of the house and a large stone terrace area has been created to the front of the house. Beyond is an expansive lawn area planted with well stocked herbaceous borders and specimen trees, running down to the stocked pond.

There is a further garden to the rear of the Coach House with a large expanse of lawn and patio close to the building.
