Nestled on the edge of the tranquil village of Willington, this Grade II listed stone farmhouse offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the picturesque South Warwickshire countryside. Dating back to the 17th century, College Farmhouse retains a wealth of traditional features, including an impressive inglenook fireplace, stone mullion windows with leaded lights, and original beams that showcase its historical charm.
