Ley Ground Farmhouse

AN IMPOSING AND VERY WELL APPOINTED DETACHED PERIOD COUNTRY HOUSE OFFERING EXTREMELY VERSATILE ACCOMMODATION, ENJOYING A SUPERB SOUTHERLY ASPECT OVER ITS GARDENS AND LAND
DESCRIPTION
Leygrounds Farm was formerly on the Doddington (Delves Broughton) Estate and probably dates from the mid 18th century. The house is constructed of brick with part rendered elevations under a slate roof and approached through double gates over a sweeping gravel drive to a car parking and turning area. The house was sympathetically renovated in 2007 with an eye to the character of the original farmhouse. It offers stylish and light accommodation with a wealth of exposed beams and wall timbers. If you are seeking a property with multi generational living options, a potential equestrian set up, an independent space to quietly work from home or maybe all three, then this superb country house has much to offer. It can also be simplified down to being a exceptional family home with land that can be adapted to suit changing needs and hobby’s as the years progress.
The gardens have been sensitively landscaped and with the land enjoying views over countryside and Doddington Lake. The agricultural land immediately adjoins the gardens and can also be a accessed independently from London Road. The land, in permanent pasture, has been planted with horse chestnut, beech, lime and oak in recent years and is stock/dog proof.
