Outstanding 17th Century farmhouse with about 3 acres and significant stone barn.
Re-thatched just a few years ago in 2014, Village Farmhouse was built around 1650 from stone which came from its own land.
Wander around the farmhouse and it's clear that the interior has evolved throughout the ages, without sacrificing the immense character of each room. Victorian tiles vie for
attention with lovely old wooden, terracotta and quarry tiled floors. You might duck under some doorways, but you'll stand tall in all the rooms. You'll lose count of the various and
interesting knobs on the old doors. Beautiful timbers demand attention throughout, some studded with ironwork and others wound with original rope reed ties, providing additional talking points.
Just as generations of families have used the farmhouse in different ways, the space is such that there is still an unusual amount of flexibility to suit your lifestyle perfectly.
Whether it's a dinner party or a major function, can there be anywhere better than Village Farmhouse for entertaining? And can there be anywhere more cosy to come home to following a winter walk along the river or through the ancient woods, logs ablaze in the stoves, warming soup simmering on the AGA
in the farmhouse kitchen?
Deep sills set into thick stone walls provide window seats in some rooms to sit and gaze out at the old orchard and the rest of the land. What will you see in the future? Will it be a haven for hens, sheep and goats as it is today, or will you keep horses? Might you design a beautiful landscaped garden, the
natural spring feeding a wildlife pond perhaps, wonderful views across to the lakes in the valley below, and to the higher fields
where owls and other birds of prey launch themselves from towering trees. House, barns and land combining to form a uniquely special property.
