What our Owners Say

We fell in love with this house the moment we saw it and instantly recognised its potential. We have enjoyed completely transforming the living environment into the space that we love today. It gave us the wonderful environment we wanted to bring our family up in, as well as some quite wonderful countryside walks that we enjoy on a daily basis!

History & Background

This substantial and deceptive Grade II listed 17th Century farmhouse boasts 3595 square feet of accommodation, standing on impressive grounds of 6 acres (stls) and enjoys a hilltop position with spectacular views over farmland. Originally constructed in the 1600s, with later additions in 2016, the property has been cleverly designed with entertaining in mind. A particular feature being the three sets of bi fold doors across the ground floor opening onto the magnificent West facing patio and grounds, perfect for Summer barbeques. Internally on the ground floor the property oozes charm and character with a multitude of fireplaces and exposed timbers, offering five excellent size living areas, complimented by an excellent size kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room and cellar. On the first floor the master bedroom enjoys a Juliet balcony with beautiful views over the neighbouring countryside and its own spacious en suite, with four remaining bright and spacious double bedrooms, dressing room and a roomy family bathroom. On second floor there is a further bedroom with adjoining dressing/ sitting room.
