A delightful Grade II listed family home with two detached holiday cottages, in a lovely elevated setting enjoying distant sea views.
Pyes Farm is a delightful Grade II Listed property which is believed to date in part from circa 1630 with later Victorian additions.

The main house, which as part of the renovation has benefited from a roof replacement including cast iron guttering, features beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors, together with a cellar. It retains a wealth of charm and character, with exposed timbers, beams and brickwork, wood flooring and good ceiling heights to the majority of rooms. Attractive principal reception rooms comprise a welcoming dining room with open fireplace and a split-level sitting room with fireplace, Stovax wood burning stove and access via French doors to the south easterly terrace and garden, from where lovely views towards the coast can be enjoyed.
