Believed to date from the 17th Century, Cousens Farm is a charming Grade II Listed timber-framed property set away from any near neighbours, enjoying an enviable position with uninterrupted views across the surrounding open countryside. Restored extensively by the current owners using traditional methods and materials, the property retains many period features throughout, including exposed beams, wide oak floorboards and original fireplaces, creating a flexible home ideal for modern life, whilst remaining conveniently located.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance leading to the comfortable sitting room and the formal dining room both featuring impressive inglenook fireplaces fitted with multi-fuel stoves. There is also a study and a cosy snug, while the spacious dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room features tiled floor with underfloor heating, attractive wooden units, a central island and an Aga. A utility room, which also benefits from underfloor heating, is to the rear of the house and provides extra storage as well as direct access to the gardens and useful boot room area.

The first floor has five double bedrooms, arranged in two separate areas accessed by staircases at either end of the house. There are two family bathrooms, a generous principal bedroom, and one of the bedrooms has its own dressing room. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms.
