About this property

  • Set in a beautiful and unspoilt position, enjoying far-reaching views, this attractive farmhouse, dates from the late 17th Century and is Grade II Listed. A mature wisteria adorns the front of the building, below a rag slate roof, all adding to the charm of this heavenly setting.

    The ground floor accommodation comprises a reception hall, a farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room with 2 oven Aga, a south west facing sitting room and dining room, a study, wc, store and rear porch/utility room.

    There are five bedrooms on the first floor including a principal suite with en suite bathroom, and four further bedrooms which share the family bathroom. Four of the bedrooms on the south west facing side of the building enjoy far-reaching valley views.

    Outside, the immediate gardens and adjoining land surround the house and buildings to enhance their privacy. A sheltered walled garden with terrace, lawns and mature borders runs along the front of the building. At the back of the building, there is a substantial parking area, which leads to a raised area of garden, within which is an enclosed kitchen garden and greenhouse.

    The land runs away from the house and buildings to a stream at the bottom of the valley, within which there are a series of spring fed ponds and an area of woodland. To the south and west of the farmhouse, there is an extensive selection of traditional outbuildings, including a substantial two-storey barn, with lapsed planning consent for conversion into four holiday letting cottages.
