An historic farmhouse with a traditional feel with modern conveniences
Description
Step back in time to the 17th century with Upper Porthkerry Farm, a
captivating Grade II listed farmhouse with a thatched roof. This charming
property seamlessly blends historical character and period features with
modern - day living, creating a truly unique and curated experience.
As you approach the farmhouse, the sweeping wrap - around driveway beckons,
accommodating up to 8 vehicles and accompanied by a convenient double garage.
Parking dilemmas are a thing of the past. Standing proudly, Upper Porthkerry
Farm showcases its wheat - reed thatched roof and delightful deep eyebrows
framing the windows. A quaint bonnet porch adds an extra touch of allure.
The spacious hallway features a remarkable blue pennant standing stone. The
exquisite and thoughtful design, combined with exceptional décor, exudes style
and sophistication.
The living room boasts beams salvaged from an old shipwreck, steeped in rich
history. Don't worry about ducking or low ceilings here—this home offers lofty
heights and wonderfully airy rooms. Stay cosy with a log burner nestled in an
original inglenook fireplace, adorned by dressed blue pennant stone. The
enchanting 500 - year - old stable door leads you seamlessly to the farmhouse
kitchen.
Prepare to be enamoured by the bespoke kitchen, handcrafted by the current
owner and painted in a soft French grey. The curved central island provides an
idyllic spot to savour a cup of coffee and catch up with friends. The range -
style cooker is perfect for whipping up a hearty farmhouse breakfast, and the
abundance of built - in appliances (including two dishwashers!) and ample
storage make this kitchen a dream. Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen is
the family room, the heart of the home—a wonderfully sociable space.
Additionally, a practical Boot Room is conveniently located off the kitchen.
Elegance and brightness define the sitting room, with its large period
fireplace. The dining room sets the stage for entertaining, showcasing an
exposed wooden floor and ample space for a grand table. Both rooms offer dual
aspects, allowing you to step out to the garden with a glass of wine and
immerse yourself in the picturesque views.
Upstairs, five generously proportioned bedrooms await, three of which boast en
suite bathrooms. A luxurious family bathroom completes the upper level,
meticulously designed and truly sublime. Every detail has been carefully
considered, right down to the original plug on the freestanding cast iron
slipper bath.
Outside, a separate annex with a mezzanine level presents endless
possibilities for multi - purpose living. Complete with a fitted kitchen and
shower room, this space could serve as a remarkable home office, teenage den,
guest accommodation, dedicated gym studio, or a serene writing retreat.
The garden is as impressive as the interior, featuring a large social space
with decking and a sunken seating area for entertaining. The standout feature
is the covered and heated swimming pool, inviting you to enjoy a refreshing
dip or leisurely laps regardless of the weather. The sheltered courtyard
exudes a Scandinavian vibe, boasting a hot tub and sauna. Film enthusiasts
will delight in the clubhouse, which houses a cinema room and home bar—a
perfect setting for sipping cocktails and enjoying movie nights.
Practicality is not overlooked, with access to the farmhouse's utility room
and a downstairs cloakroom with a shower from the courtyard, ideal for use
from the pool.
