4 Bedroom Detached For Sale   |   Pendock Road, Redmarley, Gloucestershire, GL19 3LG   |    £725,000 Sold

Summary

May Farm is one of those beautiful, historic country properties that rarely comes to market. Recently modernised with 4 bedrooms, large kitchen/breakfast room, new annexe/bedroom 4, two en suites, sitting room, dining room, home office, art studio, courtyard, terrace, outbuildings, water well, far-reaching hill views, two or more acres of captivating grounds surrounded by green fields and rolling countryside. EPC 'C'

The entire farm and gardens were split into three parts eight years ago giving each buyer a more manageable plot. May Farm, the largest with total 2,700 sq. ft, has since undergone a comprehensive and painstaking makeover as the current owners have worked tirelessly to upgrade, complete all the labour intensive works and modernise throughout. It is not overlooked at all!

Part Elizabethan and part Edwardian there is something infinitely appealing at every twist and turn. Exposed beams, cute fire place, original bread oven, period features, wood, lots of glass, naturally light, and fabulous views from every window. A new annexe or additional living area with wet room, French doors and private entrance was constructed in 2017 with reclaimed bricks costing nearly £75,000 to complement and enhance this wonderful family home.

Upstairs is a wide landing and three generous double bedrooms. The main bedroom is gorgeous with vaulted ceilings, beautiful wooden doors, modern en suite bathroom and picturesque views.

Bedroom 2 is a particularly characterful double with exposed timber wall beams and Bedroom 3 is a super room for a teenager with an additional mezzanine level currently used as the daughter's dressing area.

Both bedrooms share the family shower room including a WC and hand basin.

We are delighted to hear the house has just received a new EPC rating of 72 | C from the previous F; very rare for an older home to have such a great rating and is in part due to the installation of twelve new solar panels, extra insulation and double glazing.

The solar panels (4kw) generate free electricity plus a small annual return of £100.00. A smart meter to monitor renewable electricity is linked to the solar panels which is useful when running the appliances. Advanced, electrically operated storage heaters heat the main house.

A separate oil-fired boiler provides hot water throughout the whole property and underfloor heating to the annexe.

GARDENS

The perfect setting to embrace 'the good life' for children, dogs and cats to explore and roam free. The plot is fully enclosed and dog-proof with fencing and surrounding hedges.

If you have a horse there is plenty of room for one too..part of the paddocks (as photographed) used to be an equestrian menage.

Over two acres of delightful grounds including lawned gardens, paddocks, selection of fruit trees, mature plants and shrubs, colourful flowers, sun terrace, and vegetable patch.

The main entrance, off quiet Pendock Road, leads to May Farm via a private, sweeping driveway with parking for several cars. Rear, gated access to a secure outbuilding with double doors and new roof suitable for storing farm vehicles, lawnmowers and bikes etc also allows for further off-street parking.

Additional outbuildings include a wood shed, workshop, wood store, commercial size polytunnel, and an extra large chicken coop (fox proof) providing an endless supply of free-range eggs.

Planning for a pretty detached three-bay garage and first floor office space with balcony has been approved as per the attachment below. Mains services including water supply and drainage have already been laid.
