Long Ash Farm is offered with no forward chain, comprising a characterful period farmhouse with a newly re-thatched roof (2022), over 34 acres of land (with a mid-tier CS agreement until 31/12/25).

Peacefully positioned in a beautiful rural setting, the property enjoys exceptional privacy and far-reaching views across its own grounds.

A traditional wooden door opens into a warm and welcoming interior that blends period character with thoughtful modern touches. Flagstone floors, exposed beams, and leaded windows preserve the home's heritage, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor adds comfort and practicality.

The principal sitting room offers a peaceful retreat with wooden flooring, a large fireplace with inset wood burner, and dual-aspect views over the gardens and fields beyond. A secondary reception room, with wooden floors, fitted cupboards, and a capped fireplace, provides flexible additional space.

The central formal dining room is light-filled and ideal for entertaining, with windows to both front and rear, an inset wood burner, and convenient access to the kitchen.

The farmhouse kitchen includes solid wood worktops, ample wall and base units, a stainless steel sink, large cooker with hob, and space for further appliances. A utility and boot room beyond offers additional worktops, a Belfast sink, plumbing for white goods, and access to both the generous garden and a cloakroom with W.C.

Upstairs, five characterful bedrooms await. The principal bedroom enjoys wooden flooring, fitted bookshelves, and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two includes a feature fireplace and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom three is double-sized with a side aspect. A family bathroom with bath, overhead shower, W.C., and basin serves this level. The second floor features two further double bedrooms with elevated views, a bathroom, and a large loft or storeroom.

ANNEXE

The attached annexe offers superb flexibility and income potential. With its own entrance, the accommodation includes a welcoming sitting room with wood floors, beams, and wood burner, a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast room, a further dining or reception room that can serve as bedroom three, a ground floor cloakroom, and two spacious double bedrooms upstairs served by a modern bathroom.

The annex could suit multi-generational living, operate as a long-term or holiday let, or, subject to the relevant consents, be split and sold separately, offering a rare degree of versatility.

Outside
The grounds of Long Ash Farm offer a true escape into nature, perfect for those who value space, privacy, and the outdoors. Set within approximately 34 acres, the land invites a range of possibilities, from walking and wildlife watching to more practical rural pursuits.

A beautifully tended garden surrounds the main farmhouse, filled with vibrant flowers, mature trees, and established shrubs. The setting is peaceful and picturesque, with uninterrupted views over the surrounding fields creating a lasting sense of calm and open space. Beyond the garden, the land stretches in all directions, enhancing the feeling of freedom and seclusion that defines this rural retreat.

The annexe enjoys its own private outdoor space, with access to the rear garden either through the sitting room or via a side gate leading into a central courtyard. This area is a delightful suntrap, ideal for quiet relaxation or entertaining. Steps rise to the charming Bothy outbuilding, perfect for use as a studio or for additional storage. A turfed section of garden lies to the rear, offering views across neighbouring fields and further enhancing the annex's sense of privacy and connection with the landscape.

There is planning permission approved for a new driveway to the side of the property (to be completed within three years), plus the option of an additional driveway into the fields.
