4 bedroom house

Due to a high level of interest in this property we are inviting BEST AND FINAL OFFERS by Wednesday the 7th April at NOON.

It is believed that Fenacre Farm was a Doomsday Manor, possibly linked at one time to the nearby Augustin Nunnery at Canonsleigh Farm. The present farmhouse is believed to date from about 1800 and has more recently been the subject of enlargement and substantial refurbishment. Completion is however, now required but the present property provides the basis to create an exceptionally attractive and individual family home. The farmhouse occupies a secluded position within its land, complimented by a range of traditional buildings; some of which predate that of the existing dwelling and are Grade II listed. The surrounding land is level, fertile and provides productive grazing as well as a former orchard. The property adjoins the Grand Western Canal and is bisected by an attractive brook. In total, the property extends to about 4.05 ha’s (10 acres).
