STEP INSIDE Judds Farm House
Judd's Farm House is a grade II listed home which sits in a small enclave of properties within its
own enclosed gated garden which extends to around 0.4 of an acre. The residence dates back
to the early 15th century with later additions added up to the 19th century, and was once
home to the renowned John Brown, who is famously recognised as a respected geologist and
also a Master Mason, some of his work is still showcased in the Natural History Museum.
Originally the property formed part of a large farm and was later divided into individual
dwellings. When the owners first viewed the home, they were instantly attracted by the
combination of size being over 3000 sq.ft and potential the residence offered. They promptly
set out to update the property which underwent a series of renovations to include; a bespoke
custom-made kitchen which has been designed to cater for modern family living, combining
both a contemporary style alongside respecting the traditional craftmanship of it's era. They
also installed a new gas boiler and upgraded the insulation in the attic. All of the bathrooms
and utility have new suites and are complimented by pretty tiling and luxury finishings.
Each room is complimented by generous space with the majority of the rooms having exposed
timber beams and beautiful open fireplaces. There are several intricate details which ark back
to the original period. A notable feature is the well, which is situated in the kitchen, the
owners have placed secure safety glass with clever lighting to illuminate the well below and
preserve the wonderful artistry.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully created to allow a seamless flow of generous
reception rooms, with a formal dining room, drawing room and siting room plus a very
impressive orangery which has been updated with new flooring and carpentry, there is also a
large roof lantern and ample windows allowing the natural light to flood the room, there are
beautiful views over the enclosed walled garden. "It's a very light and airy house with lots of
room yet it's wonderfully warm and cosy". There is plenty of accommodation to facilitate
working from home.
On the first floor you are welcomed by a spacious landing with exposed beams and doors lead
to the master bedroom which has a personal en-suite, the second and third bedroom share a
jack and jill bathroom, whilst the family bathroom services the remaining bedroom. The
property affords versatile living space.
