IF YOU think of your equine friends as family members then Indian Farm, a beautiful converted farmhouse just outside the hamlet of Middleton-on-Leven, near Yarm , should have something to please the whole family. The farmhouse itself offers over 3,100sqft of light, airy and versatile accommodation that combines character details with stylish interior design and a pleasing open-plan feel, making it ideally suited to modern lifestyles. The hub of the home is without doubt a stunning kitchen/dining and sitting room with log burner, which is bathed in natural light courtesy of a large expanse of glazed sliding doors which provide a seamless connection to the newly-laid outdoor terrace perfect for al-fresco dining.

Fitted with quality bespoke cabinetry and stone worksurfaces, the kitchen features integrated appliances including a dishwasher, coffee machine, induction hob and Smeg double oven. It is also home to a breakfast bar which creates a subtle divide to between the kitchen and an adjoining casual snug/seating area with a wood-burning stove. A separate formal sitting room offers a relaxed setting for downtime centred around a vintage stove.

Also on the ground floor are the entrance porch and hall, a cloakroom, utility room, further larger hall and cloakroom and a study, plus an office which could be used as a bedroom if required. The spacious first floor landing gives access to a stylishly family bathroom and three bedrooms. These include the luxurious master bedroom with arc.
