Description
Set within the most delightful rural location and once part of the Gopsall
Estate, Panters Farmhouse is steeped in character and represents a rare
opportunity to acquire a superbly presented former farmhouse having been
lovingly restored and improved during its current ownership. With beautifully
manicured grounds extending to approximately 0. 55 of an acre, boasting a
superb indoor swimming pool, and triple bay garage. With a flexible layout
over two floors, and accommodation extending to just under 5, 000 sq. Ft,
Panters Farmhouse will appeal to a broad range of purchasers, including those
looking for the potential for integral annexed accommodation.
Accommodation
A part glazed solid door under a charming Victorian porch, leads to the main
hallway with traditional tricoloured quarry tiles. On the left hand side of
the hallway, doors lead to the dual aspect study, ground floor bedroom with
fireplace and shower room. A split staircase rises to the first floor landing
and a sitting room, which boasts views over the courtyard garden from a bay
window, are situated at the end. The cosy snug on the right boasts a charming
open inglenook fireplace and leads to the inner reception hall with flagstone
floor and fireplace with adjoining copper; this section of the house is
believed to date back to the 15th Century. From the reception hall, an
external door provides access to the rear courtyard and two further doors lead
to the rear entrance hall and living - dining kitchen. The rear entrance hall
makes an ideal boot room, with storage, and the adjoining guest cloakroom has
traditional fitments. The utility room includes a range of fitted units and a
sink.
The Panters Farmhouse living - dining kitchen is a place for gathering, with the
design connecting the more formal areas of the home with this outstanding
family space, and its thoughtful design sympathetically blends contemporary
and period features. The handcrafted Chalon cabinetry incorporates a plate
rack, housekeeper’s cupboard, and substantial island with an inbuilt sink.
Integrated appliances include an oil fired aga with electric companion oven,
Liebherr fridge, Miele freezer and Fisher & Paykel 2 drawer dishwasher; there
is also a range of integrated Bluetooth speakers. The room is flooded with
light by a glass roof lantern and a set of double doors. Being the heart of
the home, there is plenty of space for seating and dining areas. A further
reception room accessed from the kitchen is currently being used as a gym, but
would make a lovely formal dining room with beautiful oak floorboards and
French doors opening into the garden.
From the kitchen, a set of double doors lead to the impressive indoor swimming
pool complex with an 11m pool and a jacuzzi under an oak framed vaulted
ceiling. Two pairs of French doors provide a connection to the garden and
spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. A wet room with separate
WC and basin provides a private changing area.
Staircases from the main hallway and reception hall rise to the first floor,
which has the potential and flexibility to be used in various sections, and
offers other uses to suit the needs of the new occupiers. There are five first
floor bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a hobby room and one
is being used as a snug/playroom, plus a family bathroom. The spacious master
bedroom benefits from vaulted ceilings, countryside views and bespoke fitted
wardrobes. The well - appointed en suite shower room boasts twin sinks. The
generous second bedroom also has an en suite bathroom. The arrangement of
bedrooms would provide extensive family accommodation, or could be used in
such a way that selected bedrooms had adjoining dressing rooms/studies.
Throughout Panters Farmhouse, it is clear to see that the vendors have
restored and maintained as many of the period character features as possible,
blending sympathetic decoration with modern design and comfort.
Outside
An equal level of consideration, thoughtful design and care has been applied
in the grounds as to that of the house itself, with the landscaping of the
0. 55 acre plot having been designed by the award - winning garden designer,
Francesca Sinclair.
A low red brick wall edges the northern boundary where an electric gate
provides access to a gravel driveway with ample space for parking and access
to a detached triple garage and a covered wood store, currently utilised as an
outdoor seating area.
From the driveway, brick paving leads to beautifully landscaped pathways,
planted with feature box hedges stocked with perennials and ornamental
grasses, and guides the way to the ornate front porch. To the right, steps
lead down to the front terrace which enjoys sun throughout the day and late
into the evenings and looks out to the manicured front gardens and idyllic
rural vistas to the south. The front lawns are edged by a curved, structural
hedge which provides interest and good levels of privacy whilst the centre of
the lawn showcases a productive walnut tree, and, beyond, a large pond with
decking area and foot bridge over. Throughout the gardens there are well
stocked borders and a choice range of shrubs and perennials.
A high level of design and creativity has been utilised in the outstanding
rear courtyard which links the original wing of the house to the modern
extension with diagonal pathways weaving through raised ponds and planting.
At night, the house and gardens all benefit from feature lighting.
