Property Description
As you amble alongside an open field toward the sprawling 1710 stone bank house, Porthcawl Farm eases you into another time and place. Once you pull beneath the shade of century-old specimen trees, it's hard to imagine NYC is a mere hour's drive from this pristine 44-acre Hillsborough property (subject to subdivision) covered with trails and places to ride, whether horses or ATVs. Verdant lawns stretch out beyond the main residence and caretaker's cottage/pool house. A tennis court and cutting garden situated next to the bright blue pool beckon everyone outside into the fresh air, while a rec room large enough for billiards and more offers refuge from the sun. The romantically rambling main house was expanded for better functionality, modern entertaining and more luxurious accommodations, but the original 18th century structure has its own impressive features and plenty of authentic charm. The dining room and keeping room have fireplaces and built-ins. Exposed brick and wood beams inspired the kitchen's casual mood. In the family room below, rugged stone walls pair with French doors opening to the stone patio. A sunny living room, wet bar and customized mudroom are all part of the newer section, where wide-plank floors and beamed ceilings maintain a cohesive look. Two ground floor bedroom suites and an office all have outdoor access, yet feel very private. Three more bedrooms and bathrooms, including a spacious master suite with dreamy views, compose the upper level.
