House For Sale £1,200,000
Set within 8.71 acres, The Farmhouse, Grade II listed and with origins dating back to the 16th century, is oak framed and constructed from mellow red brick under a clay tiled roof. The house has been the subject of extensive renovation with extreme care and attention to detail, and successfully blends the features of the period with luxuries of modern-day living, including under-floor heating and a Lutron Creston system.
Internally, the house is rich in exposed beams and boasts many additional features including natural stone or terracotta tiled floors, vaulted ceilings and leaded light windows. The accommodation is arranged over three levels and of particular note is the remarkable lower ground floor that has been creatively designed in red brick with interior lit alcoves and vaulted ceiling, to provide superb relaxation/leisure space.

A cosy snug with double doors opening out to the rear terrace provides optional space for relaxation and there is a study, useful for those seeking to work from home.
