Flax Farm nestles in a delightful setting at the end of a no through road. The property combines a comfortable & stylish three bedroom residence, with excellent equestrian facilities, both of which have been meticulously upgraded by the current owners during their years of ownership.
GROUND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION
The house provides well placed accommodation arranged over two levels, extending to over 2,500 sq. ft. There are three formal reception rooms, a study/office and a superb conservatory providing lovely views of the gardens and grounds.
Without doubt the heart of the home is the generous living kitchen, with well defined kitchen and living areas. A particular feature of the kitchen is its stylish design, showcasing bespoke Habitat 1960’s free standing, solid beech kitchen, as well as a ‘must have’ pantry and double sided log burner which connects through to the adjacent sitting room.
The ground floor accomodation further consists of a rear boot room, generous utility room and two guest cloakrooms. It should be noted that the layout of the ground floor lends itself to create a ground floor annex with its own entrance, if required.
FIRST FLOOR ACCOMMODATION
To the first floor a spacious landing gives access to three bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is particularly appealing, with a Juliet balcony providing lovely views, as well as a dressing area and en-suite shower room.
PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED
The property benefits from detailed planning consent granted in October 2023, for a first floor extension/ alterations that would provide an additional bedroom and bathroom, giving four double bedrooms and two bathrooms in total. Detailed plans are available on the Melton Borough Council website. Planning reference 23/00627/FULHH
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Flax Farm enjoys particularly lovely gardens which are beautifully maintained. There are large level lawns, heavily stocked boarders providing seasonal colours and a nice selection of mature trees. The gardens offer a degree of privacy and fine setting for this rural home. To the front of the property is an extensive ‘in – out’ gravelled driveway, with forecourt parking area providing off road parking for numerous vehicles, as well as giving access to an oak framed car port.
EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
The equestrian facilities at Flax Farm are excellent and well planned. The set up allows for ease of management, being fully visible from the main house. The paddock land and outbuildings are accessed via a separate yard entrance, offering ease of access and turning space for larger vehicles such as horse boxes or lorries.
A timber range of stables and outbuildings provide three loose boxes, a feed room, tack room, workshop, hay barn and tractor store.
The paddock land is currently split into three fenced grazing paddocks, but offers the option to be split into four if required. There is also a recent dry turn out area, measuring 25m x 10m, offering an invaluable addition for the winter months. Sitting adjacent to the paddock land is a superb 20m x 50m menage with Andrews Bowen surface, offering the benefit of riding facilities all year round.
