Outside The property is situated in a spectacular semi rural setting within open countryside. Set well back from Warren Hills Road, Irish Farm (and neighbouring property, The Old Barn) enjoys a spectacular approach through a private electric gate via the sweeping tree-lined private driveway laid in high quality Tarmacadam. The second, diverging driveway provides access to two neighbouring properties and to the neighbouring I.M Equestrian Livery. Irish Farm’s private entrance is enclosed by attractive drystone walling which provides hardstanding for a large number of vehicles and leads in turn to a large attached double garage.

Attached Double Garage Built-in complementary brick and slate with oak double doors and oak door surround with separate side access. The garage has electrics, lighting, central heating, is fully plastered and has quality concrete floor laid. The passageway linking the garage and the house could easily be joined and converted to provide further living accommodation, if required.

Garden and Grounds The gardens are private and extend to the front, side and rear of the property, being enclosed by a mixture of stone walling, mature trees and hedging. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and feature a large variety of ornamental shrubs, plants and mature trees and the elevated position of the garden affords spectacular uninterrupted views over the paddocks to the rear and side and to the woodlands of Bardon Hill beyond. In addition, there is a full width south facing paved sun terrace/patio with ornamental lighting, from which to enjoy the views. Side access from the front of the house, sufficiently wide enough for ride-on mower, leads past the log store to the rear garden. The grounds offer sufficient space for the addition of garden amenities such as tennis court, swimming pool, orchard etc. (subject to usual planning consents).

The two large stock proof paddocks are surrounded by a number of hacking routes, making it perfect for those with equestrian interests. The Vendor currently has a verbal agreement with the neighbouring Livery to allow horses in the paddocks to maintain the grass; a local farmer mows paddocks, by arrangement.

Services Mains water and electricity are connected to the property in addition to a sophisticated private drainage system and LPG central heating.

Agents Note One - Planning Consent Planning consent has been granted for the construction of a two storey extension to the rear to comprise a fully glazed indoor/outdoor entertaining room with another bedroom above. This extension would afford south facing views over the garden and paddocks beyond. We are advised that the previous vendors have already constructed the foundations for the extension and are under the patio.

Agents Note Two - Connecting/Joining First Floors Access The currently separated first floor can easily be re-connected by the removal of the partition between the wardrobes of Bedroom Suites 2 and 4 allowing for through access across the whole of the first floor.
