Description

BOUGHTON MONCHELSEA / STAPLEHURST

Superb opportunity to update. Nestled within a farm hamlet, this remarkable Grade II* Listed Farmhouse stands as a testament to centuries of English heritage. Dating back to the 15th century, with later additions, the property offers an extraordinary opportunity to breathe new life into a home that has been owned by the same family since the early 1800s. The farmhouse extends to approximately 3,000 square feet and is now in need of sympathetic restoration. The farmhouse sits in garden and grounds of approximately 1.4 acres including a pear orchard.

SERVICES:
Mains electricity and water. Oil fired central heating.
Currently a shared sewage treatment plan however a new sewage treatment plant will be required.
