6 bedroom house

Lance Levy Farmhouse is a most attractive Grade II listed farmhouse which is thought to date from the early 19th century. There are many original features throughout the house including exposed timbers and open fires.

Outbuildings –
To the front of the house is a brick outbuilding providing stabling and comprises three/four loose boxes or tack room. This outbuilding would be ideal for conversion into an annexe or home office, subject to the necessary planning consents. There is also a five bay open fronted cart shed which is Grade II listed and dates from the early 19th century.

Garden and grounds –
The front of the house has areas of lawn that are enclosed by a mature evergreen hedge. The main formal garden lies to the rear which is mainly laid to lawn. There is a terrace running along the rear of the house. Adjacent to the kitchen is an outdoor dining area screened by a brick wall. Within the garden there are many mature trees including cherry, apple and other fruit trees. From the formal garden there is access to an area of grassland from which there is access over the moat into the vegetable garden. Beyond is an area of pastureland which is divided into two paddocks. Please note there is a public footpath running through part of the paddock and to the rear of the moat.

Further land and cottages are available by separate negotiation.
