Once owned and run as a farm by Walter Lusby, who was also a local Stone Mason, Kestrels has many of his crafted works around this characterful home. Believing to date back to circa 1731 it has undergone many transformations and conversions including a Cow Milking Parlour, Linhay and Hayloft. It is set in a wonderfully secluded spot and was bought many decades ago by the current owners for the sense of opportunity it offered, freedom and the quality of life that it brought to them and their family. The accommodation comprises: Storm Porch, Farmhouse Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Pantry, Utility/Linhay, Inner Hall/Study Area, Living Room, Dining Room, Conservatory, Inner Lobby and Ground Floor bathroom.
