Hoys farmhouse is a detached Grade II Listed period home of individual style
and character situated in this lovely country setting, placed between the
villages of Ashdon and Radwinter, adjoining countryside over which the

screened by mature trees and shrubs, with the property containing many of the
features associated with its Listed status including exposed beams and
timbers, lovely brick fireplaces and attractive brick flooring.
The front door opens into a shallow hallway with brick laid floor and door
opening into the sitting room. There are windows to the front and rear drawing
in natural light, exposed beams and timbers, attractive brick floor and
exposed brick fireplace with stove set on a raised hearth. A rear hallway
links to, what is, an extension to the original property where there are two
further rooms which could serve as ground floor bedrooms or useful office
space with a shower placed in - between and staircase rising from the current
study leading to a first floor bedroom above which has windows to the rear and
side overlooking adjoining countryside. The sitting room also links to the
dining room in the original part of the property featuring a large inglenook
fireplace, at present non - operational, attractive brick flooring, windows to
the front and rear and door concealing staircase rising to the principal first
floor accommodation. The kitchen/breakfast room is an excellent family space
with ample room for table and chairs, complementing a range of storage
cupboards, walk - in pantry, wooden worktops, granite topped island, space for
appliances, butler sink, attractive terracotta tiled floor, brick fire breast
with recessed oil/electric Stanley cooking range and windows to the front and

The first floor accommodation sits beneath the thatched part of the building
with each room having sloping ceilings. There are two good sized double
bedrooms; one with its own en suite cloakroom, whilst the other principal
bedroom has the advantage of a large en suite bathroom which contains twin
wash hand basins and a freestanding ball & claw rolltop bath.
Outside, the property sits with grounds which extend to about 2. 2 acres, laid
out predominantly to lawn containing a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs
and trees with mature natural borders providing excellent enclosure to this
superb outside space. There is a paved patio adjoining the rear of the
property which provides a secluded outside entertaining area and a group of
sheds which are currently in need of attention. As previously mentioned, the
property sits back from the road accessed via a driveway with a 5 - bar gate
leading onto the property which enjoys off - street parking space for numerous
vehicles.
