Book End Farm is a handsome stone built property situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which has been sensitively restored, re-built and re-modelled by its owners to include extensive ancillary accommodation. The accommodation flows from a bright reception hall and comprises a garden room with lofty double-height ceiling and mezzanine level above, double doors onto the rear terrace, and a sizeable family room adjacent. The family room and snug have original stone feature fireplaces, one with a log-burning stove. The three rooms flow naturally from one to another, creating an airy feel and providing excellent entertaining space. There is also a study and a home office on the ground floor level both benefitting from a variety of bespoke Neville Johnson cabinetry. The generous Smallbone kitchen and breakfast area offers a range of stylish wall and base units, an inset 4-oven aga range cooker with stainless steel splashback and striking stone surround, an aga electric companion oven, a central granite and woodtopped island with sink, built-in microwave and an additional large butler sink. The further formal dining room also has a cast iron feature fireplace, with a useful utility room sitting alongside. A practical cloakroom and a storeroom complete the ground floor.
The spacious landing on the first floor branches out onto five generous bedrooms, as well as a sitting room with vaulted beamed ceiling, floor to ceiling windows and double doors onto a balcony with a glass balustrade, an ideal spot to enjoy south facing views. The principal bedroom has bespoke built-in wardrobes, as well as an en suite bathroom. A second bedroom also with a modern en suite shower room, whilst two further rooms benefit from a Jack and Jill en suite shower room. A fifth bedroom and a family bathroom with jacuzzi bath and steam shower complete the floor.

A central cobble laid driveway offers ample parking, while two substantial outbuildings provide additional accommodation and parking. There are two double garages, one of which is two-storey with a self-contained one-bedroom annexe on the first floor and a storeroom and cloakroom on the ground floor. The second outbuilding contains a workshop and purpose built gymnasium and further storeroom. A tailormade dog kennel and log store also occupy the plot, whilst level lawns and a wraparound garden with wildlife pond offer an abundance of aspects in which to enjoy the picturesque countryside surroundings.
A sunken terrace encircles the home, providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining, with a pergola below the balcony offering shade and a vegetable garden with raised beds, various planters and a greenhouse. The property also enjoys an area of ancient woodland and a wild duck pond.
