The Farm House, Higher Walton - 6 bed - £1,300,000 - Gascoigne Halman - Stockton Heath

Property details

Bedrooms: 6

Porch House Farm occupies an elevated position with views over open farmland to the front.
Since it's development, a continuous programme of improvement and refurbishment has since been undergone and the farm house now represents the finest contemporary living combined with traditional features.
Internally there is an impressive reception hall plus a further five reception rooms and a large family kitchen fitted out to the highest possible standard with a recent electric Aga and limestone flooring. There is also a small wine cellar, utility and cloakroom/WC. Six bedrooms on two further floors are served by five bath/shower rooms all of which are particularly well appointed with contemporary sanitary fittings.
The traditional feel of the house has been created by the use of massive timbers and natural materials inside and out and we believe it is one of the finest examples of its type currently on the market in this area.
The grounds total approximately two acres and comprise private walled formal gardens adjacent to the house, sunken sitting area, breeze house and barbecue pit plus a small paddock ideal for football pitch! The garages and coach arch with roller shutter doors give secure covered parking for 4 or more cars and there is hard standing for any number of vehicles.
