This multi-faceted property boasts a wide range of quality outbuildings, from animal shelters to leisure and commercial in nature, offering all the space that a large family could need.ACCOMMODATION:Formal entry is found at the front elevation, where the truly imposing nature of this period villa is apparent, and the kerbside appeal is most evident.

The feeling of space and grandeur is immediately obvious from the high ceilings, wide staircase and cornicing in situ.

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.
