Ashtree Farmhouse, BucklandAbout this home

Approached down a long and sweeping driveway, sits Ashtree Farmhouse, an exquisitely striking Georgian farmhouse. The property has evolved over the years through renovation and modernisation, and the end result is a magnificent historic family home that is well equipped for modern living, yet retains original period features once would expect of such a house, such as flagstone floors, and rooms of large proportions awash with natural light. North Barn offers just over 3,000 sq. ft of secondary accommodation with its own driveway and garaging, and like the main house, is presented beautifully, offering a move in ready opportunity for an incoming purchaser. In all, nestled within 11.3 acres of immaculately kept formal gardens and paddocks, and encompassed by newly installed estate fencing, there is a 14 metre long swimming pool, tennis court, Basketball court, Boule court, workshop and heritage orchard offering 200, pre 19th Century, individual trees from 133 different varieties, planted between wildflower meadows. For a house of such scale, it is economical to run with two sets of 16kWh solar panels linked to two Tesla batteries and new gas boilers. It is incredibly rare to find a significant historic house in such a fabulous edge of village location, with land. This really is an incredible country house.
