This spacious and well - designed contemporary detached country residence is
situated in a delightful elevated location at the end of its drive with

extended considerably over the years and the majority of it now has
weatherboarded elevations beneath a part slate and part tiled roof.
The vendors have meticulously upgraded and extended Top Farm. The drawing room
and kitchen alterations are especially worthy of note, the former having a
stunning Border Oak exposed and vaulted timber frame and the latter has
recently been re - fitted with a wonderful in - frame Shaker style Greenheart oak
kitchen.

ballustrades. The inner hall with storage provides access to the main
reception rooms, the vaulted drawing room being at the far end. This triple
aspect room with an open inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove provides
ample space for both sitting and dining as required and French doors lead to
the south facing rear terrace.

remote electric fire and upper bar area; a study with shelved library area and
a cloakroom. Opposite, there are a pair of glazed doors to the snug sitting/TV
room with French doors to the terrace and direct access to the stunning
kitchen/dining room. As mentioned, this has recently been fully re - fitted and
incorporates quartz worktops, a large central island with semi - circular oak
breakfast bar, a range of fitted units incorporating a pantry store and
dresser. An array of fitted appliances include an electric Rangemaster cooker,
