Set on a private and mature 0.6-acre plot on the outskirts of Newport, The Farthings is an impressive five-bedroom detached home offering over 2,850 sq ft of beautifully designed living space. With a modern finish, spacious entertaining areas, and substantial outbuildings, including a four-bay garage and a separate double garage, this property combines lifestyle, comfort, and versatility in one.
Accessed through electric gates, a sweeping gravel driveway provides secure parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the main house and garages. Inside, the ground floor features a striking open-plan kitchen and family room that measures over 25 feet and opens directly onto the garden terrace. A large island unit, sleek cabinetry, built-in appliances, and a coffee station are at the heart of this vibrant, bright space. A comfortable lounge area with a fireplace and sliding doors offers an excellent setting for daily living and entertaining.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room decorated with botanical accents, perfect for hosting guests. A separate lounge provides a more traditional atmosphere, complete with a fireplace, deep red tones, and French doors leading to the garden. A versatile study and a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom offer flexible living arrangements, while a utility room and two cloakrooms complete the spacious ground floor.
On the first floor, a generous landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring fitted wardrobes, dual-aspect windows that provide expansive countryside views, and a sleek en suite shower room. Bedroom two also has a stylish en-suite bathroom via a dressing room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, a free-standing bath and black marble tiling.
The outdoor space is a true highlight of the property. The rear garden, mostly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, includes a wide terrace with multiple seating areas, a hot tub, and beautifully landscaped flower beds. A timber garden room serves as a perfect retreat or entertaining space for summer gatherings, and the grounds feature a stunning cedar tree along with additional established planting.
One of the standout features of The Farthings is its range of outbuildings. In addition to the main residence, there is a detached four-bay garage block that includes a workshop, WC, and storage areas, ideal for car collectors or those seeking conversion potential (subject to planning), as well as a separate double garage with further storage options. This setup provides opportunities for multi-generational living, studio use, or home business needs.
Located just outside the vibrant village of Newport, this home enjoys easy access to Joyce Frankland Academy, Newport Station (which offers direct services to London and Cambridge), and countryside walks right from your doorstep. Saffron Walden is only a short drive away.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a home that offers space, character, and functionality in equal measure, The Farthings exemplifies countryside living at its finest.
