4 Description Rogers Farm is an attractive Grade II listed farmhouse, which has been the subject of extensive renovation and extension over the years, resulting in a substantial 3,112 sq ft family house that retains the charm of a period property and meets the expectations of modern life-style. The front has charming, symmetrical white rendered elevations under a slate roof. The rear elevations of the property are characterised by carefully matched chequered masonry, blending with the original brickwork. Internally, the property is extremely well-presented, with good ceiling heights, large windows, and neutral décor. A gabled open porch shelters the part glazed, part wood front door, which opens to a reception room with a classic Victorian cast iron fireplace and decorative tiled surround. The drawing room has an impressive inglenook fireplace, set with a wood burner and an oak bressemer; the dining room also has a lovely cast iron fireplace. Double doors link the northern wing via the full height glazed stairwell fitted with a superb turned oak staircase. Steps lead to the sitting room, which has full height glazing at each corner, framing views across the gardens. The spacious hand-made Peter Smith kitchen has granite surfaces, cream and oak cabinetry, and a superb range of high end integrated appliances including Neff induction hob with extractor, coffee machine, two multi-function ovens and microwave, Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer and two dishwasher drawers, and a Quooker hot tap; the kitchen is open to the breakfast room, and complemented by a fully fitted utility room with space for appliances. A cloakroom and rear lobby complete the ground floor; this portion of the house has engineered oak flooring. The master bedroom is sited in the north wing, reached via the oak staircase, and has a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and a luxury en suite bathroom with walk-in wet room shower, freestanding bath, two basins and a WC.

5 In the older portion of the house are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom, fitted with a modern suite and bespoke cabinets. Outbuildings, Gardens & Grounds Rogers Farm is approached via a private farm drive across Lunces Common. Electronically operated gates, and estate fencing, enclose the gravelled driveway and gardens. The property is well served by two quality oak framed outbuildings comprising: a triple bay garage with two sets of electronically operated and one manual set of garage doors, attached log and wood pellet stores, and with a spiral staircase leading up to the large, fully fitted first floor office space; and an oak framed tandem double garage and machinery store. There is a further timber framed workshop and boiler room. To the front, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by estate fencing. To the west of the house, accessed via French doors from the sitting room, kitchen and rear lobby, is the beautiful tiered sandstone terrace with slate gravelled beds and topiary; the remainder of the gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with water-well, pond, established hedges, woodland and mature trees planted at the boundary. In all, about 1.8 acres.
