Property Details

A fine Grade II listed farmhouse with an additional converted barn set in five acres. The main house has an abundance of original character, with part dating back to the late 16th Century. The house has been much extended and improved over the years to offer a large farmhouse style kitchen, separate utility and pantry, two reception rooms divided by an original oak stud and plank screen, double glazed conservatory, four first floor bedrooms, two further loft bedrooms, family bathroom and further shower room.

Additional ancillary accommodation, hobby workshop, store and garage has been created from the 17th Century Grade II listed timber framed barn and adjoining cow houses which have been beautifully converted by the current owner. The main barn offers double height recreational space with the exposed timber trusses complimented by the new oak doors, windows and flooring, galleried study/ office space with external access via the stone granary steps, a small fitted kitchen and shower room. The conversion has been done with great thought to the environment and sustainable living in the way of full insulation, wood burning stove, solar water heating and composting toilet.
