Description

Home Farm House is a truly enchanting Grade II listed Georgian residence, beautifully positioned within approximately 3.3 acres of undulating grounds situated in the picturesque hamlet on the edge of Thornhaugh.

The principal suite benefits from a large ensuite bathroom along with ample storage and wardrobe space, while a further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.Additional practical spaces include utility areas and a useful basement, adding to the home’s functionality. Externally, the grounds are a particular highlight, combining formal landscaped gardens enclosed by attractive old stone walls with areas of meadow grassland, creating a perfect balance of structure and natural beauty.A range of outbuildings provides exciting potential for further use or development (subject to the necessary consents), alongside a separate annex offering excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, or home working.This is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country home of significant character, history, and charm, set within idyllic surroundings.
