The good life beckons! With 7 acres of land, orchards, paddocks, barns and mature trees, this house has been a much loved home for the same family for the last 35 years. Whilst the farmhouse would benefit from modernisation, it is a wonderful, bucolic spot

Whilst a new heating system and perhaps a kitchen upgrade may be fairly high on the list for the new owners, there is so much potential here for the new owners to put their own stamp on it and create a really lovely home. The as yet undeveloped extra place adds even more interest for the re-imagination of this pretty farmhouse.
