A rare opportunity to acquire an impressive detached four-bedroom farmhouse, situated in the heart of the highly regarded Metfield community, set within generous grounds and surrounded by mature trees, established gardens and a wealth of original character. Offering substantial accommodation, a self-contained annex with an existing rental income, extensive outbuildings and exciting future potential, this is a property with both lifestyle appeal and investment opportunity.<br/><br/>Approached via a picturesque tree-lined driveway, the farmhouse sits within beautifully established grounds, combining formal, well-maintained garden areas with more natural spaces. Mature trees, established fruit trees and a natural pond create a peaceful and private setting, offering an abundance of charm and outdoor space.<br/><br/>The main house provides four bedrooms, three reception rooms, two bathrooms and a separate shower room, together with a useful mud room and utility room. The property retains a number of original features and character, complemented by smooth-finish ceilings and two attractive log-burning stoves, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.<br/><br/>At the heart of the home is a bespoke, hand-crafted kitchen, combining traditional character with practical family living. The three reception rooms provide versatile space for formal entertaining, family areas, home working or relaxation.<br/><br/>A particularly valuable feature is the separate annex, which is currently occupied by a tenant and generates an income of £1,000 per calendar month, providing an immediate income stream for the new owner. The annex may also offer flexibility for extended family, guests or future use, subject to any necessary permissions.<br/><br/>The property also benefits from an impressive range of additional buildings and outbuildings, including a garage/workshop and a substantial outbuilding divided into four individual sections, providing excellent storage, workspace or potential for a variety of uses.<br/><br/>Adding further character is the property's Dove Cote building, a distinctive feature which contributes to the property's unique rural appeal.<br/><br/>Outside, the grounds are a real highlight, offering a mixture of landscaped and natural areas, mature and fruit trees, a natural pond and extensive garden space. The combination of privacy, established planting and generous outdoor areas provides an exceptional setting for family life, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding countryside.<br/><br/>Being in the heart of the Metfield community adds another important dimension to the property, offering a sense of connection to village life while retaining the privacy and space associated with a substantial country home.<br/><br/>There is also significant potential for further income generation and development, with opportunities to explore the use of the existing buildings, the annex and the surrounding land. There may also be potential for land to be sold separately or for additional development, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.<br/><br/>This is a truly individual property, combining the character and charm of a traditional farmhouse with substantial accommodation, income-producing potential, extensive outbuildings and further possibilities for the future.
