The propertyPyes Farmhouse is an exceptional Grade II listed period property believed to date from the sixteenth century with later additions to both wings. Retaining a wealth of original features the beautiful accommodation blends modern family living with the essential character and history of this charming family home. Accommodation is arranged over two floors. The loft is part converted to a study (accessed via loft ladder) and there is potential for further conversion. Of particular note is Sitting room 2 in the award winning two-storey South wing. The most recent extension provides a fully fitted kitchen with lobby, boot room, utility room and to the rear is an oak framed garden room, providing superb views over the formal gardens.

The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and walk-in wardrobe. There are three further bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom on the first floor. The possibility exists, subject to planning permission, to extend further into the roof void, as we understand that this was used as accommodation in the past.

OutsidePyes Farmhouse lies at the end of a private drive in a exceptionally secluded area. Formal gardens lie to the front and rear of the property, with a variety of established trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants, with mature yew, box and beech hedging creating a series of garden ‘rooms’. To one side is an oak framed and tiled roofed building with partially open sides for Summer entertaining. To the other side of the rear garden is an established mixed fruit orchard, with grass paths leading through to the tennis court and summerhouse. Mown paths meander through the remainder of the informally planted part of the garden to the studio/ summerhouse, which is set on a small mound among a variety of trees. There are also two copses of silver birch trees.

To the west of this area behind the barn is an enclosed chicken run with houses, a formal vegetable garden and triple log store, a cutting garden, and a utility area, all enclosed by established mixed hedging. A drive of cotswold chippings to the front of the property leads to a triple garage, which is backed by two stables and a tack room. Across the stable yard is a barn which has lapsed planning permission for conversion to an annexe. A garden pond can be found at the head of the drive.
