Description
THE PROPERTY
\"Launch Event\" Saturday 6th July | Please Call for your Viewing Appointment | This captivating Grade II Listed 350-year old farmhouse can be likened to a traditional smallholding on the fringe of the historic village, featuring extensive gardens and open views across Harrow School Cricket Fields. One of the areas most cherished original buildings, this unique timber-frame property has remained unspoiled through generations of owners who have valued its evident charm.
Roxeth was a hamlet in the ancient Harrow on the Hill Parish, with Roxeth Farmhouse set behind tall hedging on Bessborough Road. Featuring delightful painted weatherboard elevations with large brick chimneys under a hipped tile roof, this represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a fabulous period house with countless original features including substantial exposed beams, fireplaces and wonderfully crooked staircases which evidence its age.
Ideally suited to the outdoors person the glorious Westerly gardens are a true delight, providing a restful and calming atmosphere with areas of wild flowers, meadow-like lawns and a productive kitchen garden with abundant vegetables and fruiting trees. Perfect for those with green fingers and a liking for cricket, it also has clear views over the cricket fields along one side. A large paved terrace partly shaded by a pergola and with a pond are amongst the many areas to enjoy or retreat to outside.
Measuring over 2,500sq/ft, the accommodation comprises an inviting hallway leading to the wonderful main living room with a comforting farmhouse kitchen/dining room overlooking the gardens behind. A later addition provides further ground floor living space which is completed by a guest cloakroom. Heading up to the wide first floor landing an unexpected view of St Mary's Church spire awaits, with 2 generous bedrooms including the master with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, plus the family bathroom. The top floor is also enchanting with 2 further beamed bedrooms, a 3rd bathroom and fantastic views from up high.
It would be impossible to find another such house and this is not a property to extend or re-model. Rather it will amply reward a new custodian who seeks the romance of a treasured home, respecting both the history and materials used to preserve this fine 17th Century building. A further bonus is the close proximity to many highly regarded schools, including John Lyon and Orley Farm, with fast access to London and the Home Counties by rail or road. Do call us to learn more and early viewing is advised.
When you buy in Harrow on the Hill you acquire so much more than your new home, as the location provides daily delights. Often described as an oasis due to the friendly and cohesive atmosphere, from this property you can walk through green spaces to the Metropolitan Underground/Chiltern Line station or in the other direction to the Piccadilly Line. The Castle Pub just up West Street opposite is a true gem, with independent coffee shops and cocktail bars to hand on the High Street. There is also an excellent Waitrose supermarket nearby.
