Description

This historically significant Grade II listed farmhouse dates back to the mid to late 17th century, offering a unique opportunity for renovation in a sought-after village location. With approximately 312 square meters of living space spread across three floors, the property features extensive period details, including exposed timber beams, original brickwork, and several charming open fireplaces. The layout provides ample room for modern living while retaining its historic charm, with three spacious reception rooms that invite flexible use. The drawing room is particularly noteworthy as a triple-aspect space, boasting an impressive inglenook fireplace and access to the side garden through French doors. Adjacent to it is a cozy study with quarry-tiled flooring and direct access to the cellar below—an ideal area for storage or transformation into additional usable space. The dining room continues the theme of traditional character, featuring flagstone flooring and another inglenook fireplace. It opens seamlessly into a farmhouse-style kitchen equipped with an AGA range and double ceramic sink, providing a solid foundation for culinary endeavors. Upstairs, the property comprises five generously sized bedrooms. The first floor is home to three of these bedrooms—each with their distinctive features such as wood flooring and picturesque views. A family bathroom completes this level, equipped with a freestanding bath and traditional fittings. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms that reflect the home's historical architecture with sloping ceilings. Outside, the south-facing walled garden is a key highlight; it offers privacy and potential for landscaping according to personal taste. The property also includes several outbuildings that previously held planning permission for conversion—an appealing option for those looking to expand their investment further or create supplementary living spaces (subject to obtaining new approvals). Situated close to local amenities in the village center, this farmhouse presents an exceptional chance for renovation enthusiasts or investors seeking a project rich in character and history within an attractive rural setting.
