THE PROPERTY
Stafflands Farm is a very attractive period farmhouse offering superb accommodation with well-proportioned rooms in addition to further ancillary accommodation offering further flexibility. We understand the property was built in 1573 as the manor for Stamfordlands and later remodelled in the Georgian era to include large sash windows and a beautiful staircase. Further outbuildings have lapsed planning consent to create an additional two-bedroom cottage.

ACCOMMODATION
The property is filled with immense character and charm throughout and enjoys a southerly aspect allowing an abundance of natural light in. The accommodation is spread over two floors to include the main reception hall with original stone flooring and a beautiful Georgian turn staircase. The dining room includes exposed ceiling timbers and a large sash window complete with shutters looking out to the front. A fascinating oak frame window dating back to the original build features in the corner. A large open fireplace with oak Bressemer beam is central to the room with beautiful engineered oak flooring. The sitting room with exposed ceiling timbers includes a large sash window, smaller secondary window and features a stone surround fireplace incorporating a wood burning stove. An inner hallway with oak flooring leads out to the rear veranda. A large pantry is off to the side with a shower room located at the other end. Access leads into a superb farmhouse kitchen with oak flooring. This very spacious room allows ample space for a large kitchen table. A comprehensive range of painted wall and base units with hardwood work surface includes a dishwasher. There is a two-oven oil fired Aga. A secondary staircase located in the corner leads up to the first floor.

The main staircase leads up to four well proportioned bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a large en-suite bathroom and there is a family bathroom.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The side of the main house connects to further ancillary accommodation. Leading in through French doors under a veranda into a spacious room detailing a beautiful original brick flooring. Currently used as a games room this offers many alternative uses. Following an open tread oak staircase up to the first floor, there is a further large games room. This again offers alternative uses.   

A separate barn with store room has lapsed planning consent to create a two bedroom cottage.
