As part of a group of Grade II Listed buildings, this property is steeped in historical significance and is now in need of complete restoration. It has not been habitable for several years and requires major structural repairs, including considerable work on both the roof and floors. This project demands vision, resources, and a commitment to preserving the building's heritage while bringing it back to life.
Despite its current dilapidated state, the farmhouse still boasts many period features that merit careful restoration. Original elements such as leaded casement windows, exposed stonework, and timber beams remain intact, alongside charming details like an antique transfer-printed WC pan that exemplifies its historic character. Prospective buyers should be aware that any renovations will require Listed Building Consent due to the property's status.
