A beautiful timbered farmhouse believed to date from the 17th Century which in the last few years has been the subject of a major restoration and reconfiguration project to create a rather special home, over 4,000 sq ft, occupying a 0.25 acre south facing plot close to the very heart of the village, countryside, local pub and post office/delicatessen.

The current owners bought the property about 9 years ago and have refurbished the property with careful attention to layout and sympathetic modernisation which needs to be viewed to be really appreciated. appreciated. The accommodation has good ceiling heights and retains a wealth of character features, including exposed timbers, numerous fireplaces and latched doors with all the modern luxuries associated with a recently built house. They have rebuilt the single storey north/eastern wing to create a fabulous family sized kitchen/living area with a high oak-framed vaulted ceiling, a bespoke kitchen with additional rooms beyond that could be used as a separate annex if required. The first floor accommodation has also been reconfigured and a staircase moved so now comprises a master bedroom with modern en-suite shower room, 4 further double sized bedrooms and a beautiful family bathroom. Other internal works would naturally include redecorations, floor coverings, numerous new windows, electrics, and heating system systems.

It is not just the house that has been the focus, the gardens and grounds are also a small masterpiece when you terraces, are useful workshop, landscaping of the gardens and a modern garden studio building has been built to be used as a gymnasium or a home office if required. Including the driveway, carport and gardens, we believe the plot extends to around a quarter of an acre.

Historically: it is not known the exact age of the farmhouse but it is believed to date from the 16th or 17th Century. In more recent times it would have been owned by the Allwood family who were renowned carnation growers and the property would have once owned a major part of the land around the village.

Services: Mains gas, electricity, drainage, part air source heat pump heating.

Full profileProperty listings
At Mansell McTaggart we've hit on a unique formula that directly benefits our clients. We're actually a collection of different businesses operating under a common system and linked by the latest technology. This means you get the broad coverage offered by 17 offices, yet the focus and dedication that you only get with an owner-run business. Many agents, when you sign up with them to sell your property, will tie you to using them for 20 weeks or more. So if you find you’re unhappy with their service or that they’ve, say, overpriced your house just to get your instruction, you can’t move to another agent until that period is up.  At Mansell McTaggart we think contracts like this are unreasonably long and restrictive. After all, it should be the service you receive that keeps you with an agent, not the law!
