Dunstan Lane, CH64

The property in brief

Dunstan Farm is nestled in a tranquil and sought after location with stunning views across open countryside.

Believed to be built in the 1870's this substantial property is brimming with character whilst providing over 4200 square feet of spacious family accommodation.

The expansive principal entertaining rooms, the dining and living room, share a stunning sandstone central open fire and newly laid European oak flooring. The latter opens out through double doors onto a lovely, sunny, yorkstone patio overlooking the garden. On the other side of the hallway is a cosy, beamed snug also with a feature sandstone fireplace and logburner. Adjacent to the well proportioned, traditional farmhouse kitchen is a superb breakfast room. Quarry tiled with wooden panelling and built in seating it oozes warmth and character. Beyond is a useful utility and a newly fitted wetroom.

On the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms enjoying countryside views and sharing a family bathroom with newly fitted shower.

The second floor is accessed via a separate staircase. It could be either an impressive principal suite with bathroom, double bedroom and sitting room/study or an independent area for teens/returning children. It's large, private and really makes the most of those stunning views.

Down to the basement where there's a real gem to be discovered. Two brick vaulted rooms, one has been used as a workshop and the other as an entertaining room, the perfect place for older children's parties as any noise is absorbed by the thickness of the walls! There is also independent access to the exterior so no need to traipse through the house.

The energy efficiencies in brief

Much work has been done by the present owners to bring this beautiful house sympathetically into the 21st century. The external cavity walls have been insulated to 4" thickness throughout and the roof space benefits from triple insulation.

Central heating is provided via an air source heat pump, there are solar panels newly fitted on the roof and there is a brand new water treatment plant.

The exterior in brief

Set well back from the road, the house is approached via charming gateway leading onto a sunny yorkstone patio. The garden is packed with mature trees and shrubs and enjoys the most beautiful views across open countryside. In additon to the lawned areas of the garden there is a separate 1 acre lawned paddock, ideal for keeping horses. There is also an additional sandstone building, used as a garage, that could be repurposed as stabling. The setting of this property really is very special.
