General Description
Smiths Property Experts are favoured with instructions to market this unique and enchanting period family home in the heart of the highly regarded Leicestershire village of Wymeswold. Believed to date back to the 16th-century, this wonderful home boasts an impressive 2,378 square feet of living accommodation that the current owners have lovingly restored under their tenure, and boasts a wealth of period charm and character throughout with exposed hardwood beams, working fireplaces, and lovely oak sash windows.
The property is positioned in the heart of the old village. Believed originally to be a wealthy merchant's house, its standing raised from the street level and in relation to the beautiful church opposite is of particular note. There is plentiful off-road parking, a double garage and workshop, and private gardens full of afternoon sun.
The Property
Church Farmhouse is a handsome period home with generous accommodation. Completely renovated and sympathetically extended by the current owners to an excellent standard throughout, the property is Grade-II listed and offers comfortable and well-thought-out living accommodation. Believed to date back to the 16th-century and of timber frame construction, the original joinery is truly enchanting and on show throughout the building. There is a useful cellar accessed via the kitchen/diner.
Expect to find accommodation comprising an entrance hall with a WC, a boot room with cloaks storage, and there are four main reception rooms namely a kitchen/diner with a hand-built in-frame shaker style fitted kitchen complete with cast iron range stove, a dining room, a beautiful sitting room with views across the village church, and a study. Upstairs is a spacious landing that leads to four good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Three of the rooms are large doubles, with both the principal suite and second bedroom having the benefit of double-height vaulted ceilings. The principal suite also affords a four-piece en-suite and a pretty low-height mezzanine space.
The Outside
To the right-hand side is a driveway providing side-by-side off-road parking and leading to an oversized double garage with power, lighting , and a substantial workshop room over. There are steps up from the driveway to a pretty front door, surrounded by a ‘rockery’-style front garden.
The rear gardens are wonderfully landscaped and boast a private aspect with afternoon sun. Laid around a central lawn are pretty seating terraces with mature shrub borders, well-stocked beds and a raised bed ideal for vegetable growing.
