SUMMARY
We are delighted to offer this four-bed detached property to the market, set within grounds extending to c. 6.5-acres. Situated in the highly desirable village of Mattersey, near Doncaster, Breck Farm offers several possibilities to the new owner(s). With various outbuildings to include garaging and stabling, the property would be ideally suited to equestrian buyers yet also offers an excellent opportunity to create additional accommodation as required. Dating back to c. 1790, the property itself offers many original features and – with open countryside views – makes for a fantastic family home. READ ON!
GROUND FLOOR
This characterful property opens via an entrance porch into a reception hall which, in-turn, has a staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation and a wine cellar beneath. To the right of the reception hall is a very impressive drawing room which, laid to a solid wooden floor, has triple-aspect windows, an open fireplace and coving to the ceiling – a perfect space for entertaining. On the opposite side of the reception hall is a front-facing sitting room which reflects similar features, as does the rear-facing dining room. Both rooms are laid to a solid mahogany parquet floor. The farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of French Oak wall and base units, has original beams to the ceiling and is laid to quarry tiles. The kitchen provides access to a utility room which again offers a good range of French Oak wall and base units and, in-turn, leads to a rear entrance hall and downstairs w/c.
FIRST FLOOR
From the reception hall, stairs lead to a half-landing where a large window gives you the most spectacular view across the property’s gardens and beyond over open countryside. The first floor offers three double bedrooms which are all a generous size, as is the fourth bedroom – currently used as a home office. A smaller room is also in use as a home-gym but could equally be used as required by the new owner(s). All sleeping accommodation is served well by a family bathroom, fully fitted with a Porcelanosa four-piece suite to include a contemporary free-standing bath, a walk-in rainfall shower cubicle, a wash hand basin and a w/c.
EXTERIOR
The property is accessed via a gravelled driveway and parking area, to the side of which is an L-shaped range of traditional farm outbuildings. Whilst these buildings are currently in use as garages and a workshop, they could easily be converted into annexe accommodation – subject to the necessary planning permission. To the front and side of the property is a substantial formal garden which hosts a variety of mature trees and plants whilst, directly to the rear, there is an extensive block paved patio area beyond which are lawned gardens; well-stocked borders; a second outdoor dining area; a pond; and a variety of mature trees and plants. The rear garden also offers two versatile brick-built buildings which are good spaces for the new owner(s) to utilise as desired. The equestrian facilities available include two timber stable blocks with four rubber matted stables: a hay storage area and grassed paddocks. Beyond the paddocks is the woodland orchard with a variety of trees. Of note, the land has a separate gated access off Thorpe Road.
