A charming period farmhouse flanked by an attractive courtyard range of buildings standing in mature gardens and grounds.

DescriptionBotterley Hill Farm is an exceptional Grade II Listed farmhouse dating in part from the early 17th Century. It is constructed principally of brick with half timbered elevations to part under a slate roof and has been fully renovated with great care and attention to detail. The property now offers well balanced family accommodation with 4 spacious principal reception rooms and 6 bedrooms centred around a wonderful galleried hall with integrated sound system to the main rooms, swimming pool and garden. The excellent leisure facilities include a superb indoor swimming pool complex and a floodlit Astro turf tennis court.

Standing in mature landscaped gardens with the benefit of railed paddocks the whole extends to approximately 11 acres, complemented by a range of traditional outbuildings currently used for stabling and storage but with development potential for a variety of uses including office space or ancillary accommodation for staff/ dependent relatives.

To the front of the house a panelled door beneath an open fronted porch gives access to an impressive galleried reception hall with stone flagged floor and exposed beams. Off the hall are the principal reception rooms with elegant formal drawing room overlooking the gardens with southerly aspect. Beyond the drawing room is a reading room with French doors to the courtyard and a separate study. The dining room is on the opposite side of the reception hall with impressive exposed wall and ceiling timbers, oak boarded floor and open fireplace. Beyond the principal reception rooms is an inner hall with snug and open plan kitchen with recently built conservatory providing a breakfast area and a seating area overlooking the gardens. The kitchen contains an excellent range of fitted wall and base units beneath granite worktops incorporating an island unit, Belfast sink with waste disposal unit, dishwasher, microwave/grill, electric hob and 4 oven Aga in a tiled recess. Beyond the kitchen area is an open plan family sitting room with French windows to a garden terrace. To the back of the house is a rear hall off which is a W.C. and separate utility room with fitted units beneath work surfaces. Within the rear hall, access is gained to the swimming pool and a back door opens out onto a covered veranda within the cobbled courtyard.

The first floor is laid out into 3 wings opening off the striking galleried landing. The master bedroom suite has exposed beams and trusses and incorporates a dressing room and a bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower. On the opposite side of the landing is

the guest suite containing a wealth of exposed beams and wall timbers and having the benefit of an en-suite bathroom. Within the west wing are 4 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

LeisureFacilitiesAdjacent to the main house is an attractive L shaped range of traditional buildings surrounding a cobbled courtyard. This range has been partially converted to accommodate a leisure complex with indoor swimming pool, adjoining changing room and shower. The pool room has exposed ceiling trusses and beams, Velux windows and a series of French windows opening out to the garden.

Within the immediate garden and screened by a mature Beech hedge is a floodlit Astro turf tennis court and pavilion/summer house with seating area.

OutbuildingsThe traditional courtyard range of buildings are constructed of brick under slate roofs and are currently divided into 3 loose boxes, garaging and stores at ground floor level. On the first floor there is further storage and a games room with potential for conversion to office space or alternatively ancillary accommodation for staff/dependent relatives subject to the availability of planning permission.

Planning permission has previously been approved for the construction of 4 loose boxes, stores and a yard to the rear of the traditional buildings in order to provide additional equestrian facilities if required.

GardensandGroundsThe property is approached via a splayed sandstone entrance with electric wrought iron gates which open onto a tarmacadamed drive. The drive leads into an attractive cobbled courtyard enclosed by the traditional range of outbuildings incorporating a driftway.

To the front of the property is a sweeping south facing lawn enclosed by mature hedges together with specimen trees and against the drive is an ornamental pond. Within the rear garden against the house with access from the conservatory is a York stone terrace providing a seating and barbeque area overlooking the gardens and grounds. The gardens comprise an expanse of lawns with shrub borders and raised beds above sandstone retaining walls. Against the garden are a series of railed paddocks including a separate field fronting the lane being ideal for those with equestrian interests. The whole extends to approximately 11 acres (4.45 ha) and for identification purposes coloured pink on the plan.
