Linford Farm is a newly refurbished and extended family home which successfully combines both early 17th century and 21st century architectural styling. A new, heavily glazed rear extension is now home to an impressive open plan living kitchen, cosy snug with log burner and annexe bedroom five with ensuite. Flooded with natural light the contemporary styling of the rear elevation compliments this stone fronted, thatched home which is grade II listed. Two further, good-sized reception rooms complete the ground floor accommodation and on the first floor are four further double bedrooms and two stylishly refitted bathroom/shower rooms. Standing in 1.29 acres in total, the river Lin which meanders through the rear garden is a particular feature and permission has been given for an outdoor swimming pool. To the front of Linford Farm is a generous, gated driveway and over-sized, double garage with electric door.
