This stunning Grade II listed farmhouse is believed to date from the early 16th Century and is an important medieval house with a wealth of period features and exposed timbers to include an ornamental gable head to the front dormer.

Court Farm, Main Street, Bishampton, is beautifully presented and is light and spacious providing excellent family accommodation. The sitting room which is believed to have historically been an open hall from the ground floor to the roof timbers has an open fireplace with a Dovre cast iron multi fuel canopied fire. Open beams provide borrowed light through to the dining room and there is a separate family room and a snug with a wood burner. The breakfast kitchen has a feature inglenook with original bread oven, an Aga and stable door to the rear terrace as well as a window seat which overlooks the rear garden. There is an adjacent study and a downstairs family bathroom. There are two staircases leading to the first floor where there are five good sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The large cellar is accessed from the driveway to the side.

Outside Court Farm sits in an elevated position with beautiful well stocked flower borders to the front. The driveway to the side leads to a spectacular rear garden which has been designed and landscaped by an award winning local company.

There is a spacious parking and turning area with raised flower borders and a paved terrace and pathways mixed with original blue lias cobbles, pieces of stone and old bricks to give a change in texture and a nod to the property’s past history.

The stand out feature is the south facing natural swimming pond which provides all the advantages of a swimming pool whilst maintaining the environmental benefits of a natural pond. Taking a relaxing dip in the clear water which is chemical free and truly as nature intended could not be more inviting. The surrounding hardwood decking and diving board is as much a feature as the skilfully chosen planting around the edges combining different seasons of interest. The adjacent outbuildings have been sympathetically converted to provide a garden store, separate shower facility and changing room, a splendid garden room with sliding patio doors, workshop and separate garden store as well as a useful utility/laundry room.

Behind a beech hedge a gate leads through to a marquee sized lawn area where there is a small vegetable garden with raised beds, a greenhouse and storage shed, colourful flower borders as well as numerous fruit trees and an ornamental medlar tree. A

honeysuckle and rose covered pergola provides a focal point and a charming place to sit.
