| GARDENS: | Glyn Farm is reached by way of a quiet country lane leading to a long, sweeping driveway flanked by low-level stone walls. This elegant approach meanders through manicured shaped lawns, eventually opening onto a spacious pebbled car park with space for multiple vehicles. A beautifully paved pathway extends from the car park to the feature portico entrance, seamlessly connecting to a generous sun terrace with seating area, capitalising on the property's enviable location and meticulously landscaped grounds. Set behind a five-bar wooden gate, there is an additional parking area bordered by well-maintained herbaceous plants, providing access to the attached triple garage and clock tower. Built to match, with a concrete base and two electric garage doors to the front. Adjacent to the garage, a charming two-story dwelling offers potential for transformation into a guest annex complete with separate office space. The rear gardens ascend to a series of elevated terraces, the main one featuring a charming pergola draped in lush grapevines ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. At the top of the garden, a large outbuilding that was once used for sheltering livestock is now repurposed as a spacious storage area for garden machinery and tools. Next, a stone constructed potting shed with matching construction to the main dwelling. Tucked in the corner, a pathway opens up into a thoughtfully designed "edible garden," featuring a vibrant array of raised beds, a thriving fruit cage and green house. The final section of rear garden is a creatively designed sunken maze with intertwining pathways leading to another raised seating area and log storage bay.
The gardens and grounds beyond total approximately 12.28 acres featuring 3 distinct and enclosed paddocks ideal for grazing livestock with road access. Set to the side, a beautifully landscaped park-like garden and orchard with scattered fruit trees and well-stocked pond.
