The farm comprises a most attractive Grade II Listed farmhouse of great charm, set in mature gardens extending to over an acre, which include a range of domestic outbuildings.

High quality and versatile farms such as this do not come on the market for sale very often in this area, so Halls, the Selling Agents have no hesitation in recommending it for an immediate viewing.

Farmhouse - Dating back to the 17th Century, the farmhouse is an attractive, Grade II listed period residence of great character which is situated at the centre of the farmstead and accessed directly off the council-maintained country lane which runs through the village.
The farmhouse is rich in period charm, with features such as traditional fireplaces and exposed beams combining to create a spacious and inviting family home. The accommodation is divided over two floors with a wide entrance hall, three charming reception rooms, a dining room, a farmhouse kitchen, a conservatory and a useful pantry / back kitchen area.
The conservatory provides access to further ground floor rooms including a utility, shower room and second staircase leading to the first floor and onwards to the attic.
The first floor comprises a large split-level landing together with five/six generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside - The surrounding gardens include a gravelled car parking area and extensive lawns with ornamental ponds, shrub borders and mature/semi-mature trees.
A beautiful traditional red brick building is situated adjacent to the house and includes a garage, storage/workshop space and a former “shoot room” with a fireplace, open plan living / kitchen area, conservatory and bathroom. This also has great potential for alternative usages such as multi-generational living or conversion (subject to Local Authority consents).

They include a useful range of modern buildings that have been used for livestock housing and machinery storage in recent years and which could present an opportunity for alternative uses (subject to Local Authority consents).
