Believed to be one of the oldest houses in the middle of this delightful village, Old Farm has a lovely position and stands on grounds of approximately an acre which look south across the gardens and fields beyond. The main house has a traditional thatch roof and exudes immense character with exposed beams and ham stone walls.Upon entering the house it is clear to see that this property has been the subject of a significant programme of works. With an impressive attention to detail, the current owners have managed to enhance the original features whilst ensuring that this is now a home fit for the demands of modern day living. This is most notable in the fabulous dual aspect kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops, a 2-plate oil-fired AGA (cream) and adjacent utility/laundry.
