Step beneath the deep set walls of the porch, which handily accommodates the winter log store, before arriving at the beautiful oak front door. Push the grand lion door knocker and enter.

Here, in the warm and welcoming dining room, a true sense of the antiquity of this home comes through. Thick stone walls meet rustic wooden beams, most likely relics of the Napoleonic era.

The current owners have lovingly renovated throughout Michael Yeat Farmhouse and this care and attention is evident in the exclusive reproduction, wooden sash, double-glazed windows ...18th century charm meets 21st century comfort.

Explore the dining area, flow through into the farmhouse kitchen, where contemporary functionality combines effortlessly with country charm. Painted in chic Farrow and Ball 'White Tie', the kitchen has been stylishly designed with attention to detail in order to fit snugly to the natural curve of the stone walls.

Sneak a peek next door into the utility room. Hygienic, easy to clean and non-porous, the Karndean flooring underfoot is both stylish and durable and is the ideal match for such a functional room. Stash away the washer-dryer, second dishwasher and boots and outer wear in this multi-purpose room.

From the kitchen, turn and take a short series of steps down into the lounge, where a wood-burning stove flickers away, issuing warmth throughout, set before original exposed brickwork.

Relax and unwind, soaking up the stunning views of the garden through the French doors, inviting the outdoors in. Light streams in from above and through two wooden sash windows, adding character to the room.

An additional set of stairs from this lounge leads up to a spacious bedroom, embellished in Laura Ashley dove white. Enjoy the benefits of a private ensuite shower room, as well as views from the Velux window, which issues light throughout the room. It would also make a great study, where you can be tucked away working.

Climb the returning staircase, pausing to appreciate the view out over the neighbouring houses through the huge window on route to the first floor, where four cosy bedrooms invitingly await.

On reaching the top of the stairs, step through a door opposite to discover a handsome, spacious bedroom teeming with characterful quirks including an original fireplace with stone lintel and yet another deep-set window seat with views over the garden and out to the Lyth Valley. This room is an ideal choice for a teenage son or daughter as it is also has its own ensuite shower room.

Leading on from here is the private en-suite. Luxuriate in the roll top bath or freshen up in the separate shower this room of refreshment is modest yet indulgent.

Finally, step through to the master suite. A separate seating area, complete with television and sofa offers the opportunity for relaxation. Behind the 12ft wide bed 'nook' area, wooden panelling conceals storage space in the eaves. Perfect for spare mattresses and bedding. A deep, reclaimed wooden floorboard serves as a unique windowsill and from the front Velux windows you can enjoy breathtaking views down the valley.

Outdoors, the three-tiered garden offers the opportunity to relax and enjoy nature. On the top level, a very private, large stone patio is naturally screened by a beech hedge on two sides. From here stone steps lead down to two further patio areas and lawn where you can enjoy the warming rays of the sun late into the summer evenings.

Newly installed, the home also benefits from its own treatment plant, concealed away within the garden, a considerable advantage for an independently set rural home such as Michael Yeat Farmhouse.

Other technological innovations include inset photovoltaic solar panels on the roof, in addition to a battery storage system housed within the utility room, meaning that a large percentage of the electricity used in the house is provided by its own solar panels.
