Wood St. David is a charming, detached period farmhouse that offers more than 4,000 square feet of flexible, light-filled accommodation arranged across two floors. The house offers up to six bedrooms and five reception rooms providing the potential to create self-contained annexe accommodation. The farmhouse displays a wealth of original details including exposed timber beams and stonework and impressive open fireplaces combined with a modern extension built in the early 2000s.
