Description
Stoners Farmhouse occupies a partly elevated position on the edge of the much favoured Worcestershire village of Feckenham in glorious open countryside. The property dates back to circa 1600 and was partly rebuilt mid to late 18th century with mid-19th century alterations. The main façade is part timber framed with rendered infill and brick replacement walling on sandstone plinth with plain tiled roofs. A previous owner comprehensively refurbished the house carefully retaining the period features of the era but adding modern conveniences. Further substantial improvements to the house and garden have been made by the current owners who have occupied the property since 2004.
The delightful living accommodation is accessed via charming hallways and landings. There are four superb reception rooms each with their own unique character, three of which have fireplaces housing wood burning stoves, whilst the garden room provides wrap around views over the private garden to the south with access onto the terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room is bespoke and was installed by 'Harvey Jones' with hand painted cupboards and drawers, solid granite worktops and a large central island unit incorporating a sink and a circular breakfast table and chairs. The kitchen incorporates a dual control electric Aga with module and separate Miele integrated appliances including a further electric oven, induction hob, steam oven, sous chef warming draw and tall fridge. The kitchen leads onto a large utility room and cloakroom being fitted with matching 'Harvey Jones' units. There are four characterful bedrooms set out over two floor levels together with well appointed bathrooms, the majority of which have been upgraded with attractive sanitaryware and tiling. The principal bedroom in particular incorporates very attractive wood flooring, an open fireplace and a gallery above providing further storage. There are distant views towards Abberley Clock Tower from bedroom four and from the garden. Situated beneath the dining room on the ground floor is a cellar accessed from outside providing further storage.
Outside
The property is approached over two cattle grids along a gently ascending drive terminating in front of the coach house with private parking and turning space. The drive is secure with automated gates. There is a pretty brick-built store for general storage. Flights of steps then lead up to the main front door and around to the kitchen door. Wrapping around two sides of the house is a broad paved terrace ideal for ideal alfresco summer dining with steps leading up to an undulating lawn. The whole garden has been carefully laid out with abundant planting throughout the borders to ensure seasonal colour and a further seating terrace at the top of the garden takes full advantage of the far reaching elevated views.
Below the house on the eastern elevation is a substantial triple garage with a valuable studio and shower room above being well suited for those who wish to work from home.
