Built in 1762, Slaters Farm is the second oldest house in Peppard. This Georgian farmhouse has been carefully and stylishly refurbished and is now a comfortable blend of original features and contemporary living.
From the pillared porch, the front door leads into the entrance hall with wide elm floorboards. The sitting room has an exposed brick wall and panelling and a window overlooking the front drive and picturesque old well. From the hall, stairs lead down to the cellar with window, perfect for wine storage. There is a cosy study and a cloakroom. The main family room is a lovely light room with painted beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a Firemaster stove, pegged oak beams and a decorative brick hearth. There is a bookcase and cupboard below for storage.
The superb kitchen/breakfast room is in the newer part of the house and has been designed for maximum light and comfort with underfloor heating, large tiled floor and double doors leading to the terrace and garden. There is plenty of space for sofas, a dining table and seats around the central island. The extensive range of bespoke wall and floor cabinets are in shades of grey, there is a Silestone worksurface and integrated appliances including two Neff ovens, fridge and separate integrated freezer, large induction hob and boiling water tap. The separate utility room has an integrated washer and dryer and a back door for muddy dogs.
Upstairs, there are three generous bedrooms off a central landing on the first floor. The main bedroom is a lovely size with a vaulted ceiling, a large window overlooking the garden and two rooflights, and a wall of wardrobes for storage. A luxurious en-suite bathroom has a double shower and the family bathroom has a bath and wet room shower.
