DESCRIPTION

Rookery Farmhouse is a magnificent Grade II Listed detached residence dating back to circa 1700 with fine double gables shaped in the Flemish style along with several other period features and later additions. A real gem enjoying peace and privacy and ripe for renovation. The property appeared in 'Parsons Pleasure' a Roald Dahl Tale of the Unexpected in 1980 featuring John Gielgud.

The property is arranged over three floors and offers five reception rooms including an old dairy and drawing room, kitchen with pantry, oil fired AGA and utility room, five bedrooms, family bathroom and en suite to master, cloakroom and two attic rooms. The property benefits from electric heating and offers extremely flexible accommodation.

Rookery Farmhouse is pleasantly screened behind a grove of mature hardwood trees and flint roadside wall. Approached via a long sweeping driveway providing ample off road parking. The mature garden grounds are a wonderful feature, extending to approx. 1.15 acres (stms) with beautiful formal and partly walled gardens to the rear interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and plants. A summerhouse is nestled within the grounds enjoying views of the garden.
