Available as a whole or in three separate lots.
HISTORY Aldermoor Farmhouse evolved from a pair of cottages belonging to a nearby manor house with the cottages becoming one large dwelling during the 20th Century.
Aldermoor Farm was utilised as a dairy until the mid-20th Century, becoming a B&B in the 1960's.
The house was thoroughly refurbished in 2012 with new wiring, plumbing, insulation, double glazing and loft conversion to provide a fourth en suite double bedroom with stunning views from its elevated position.
