Description
The farmhouse is an attractive character Grade II listed detached family home, with parts dating from the early 16th century. The property offers some development potential (subject to necessary consents) and is in need of modernisation. It comprises brick elevations, with some exposed timbers and timber weatherboard cladding on part, under a clay tiled pitched and hipped roof. Originally a two up, two down cottage, the farmhouse has been extended through the conversion of a traditional barn with newbuild joining link.

The front door leads into an entrance hall off which is the dual aspect snug with beautiful open fireplace with inset bread oven, office/through room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, boiler room, bathroom, dining room and triple aspect sitting room with exposed timber framework and wall timbers, fireplace and French doors to the outside. The first-floor accommodation comprises four double bedrooms and two family bathrooms

Grounds and Gardens
Externally the property offers a triple garage (potential STPP for conversion/extension into an annexe) and a traditional brick built, clay tiled stable block with 3 stables.

Extensive gardens surround the farmhouse, lying mainly to the west. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with some ornamental trees and shrubs enclosed by post and rail wire and hedging. There is a large courtyard parking area between the farmhouse and outbuildings. An attractive stream runs through the gardens.

We estimate that the house, garden and curtilage extends to approximately 0.384 hectares (0.95 acres) (Subject to final checks).

The main block of land lies in an ‘L’ shaped block immediately to the north and east of the farmhouse and extends to approximately 6.36 hectares (15.73 acres) (Subject to final checks) of attractive permanent pasture in 4 no. enclosures. It is strategically located on the edge of Longwick.

The paddock with an allocation for development is situated to the north west of the farmhouse extends to approximately 0.260 hectares (0.64 acres) and could be readily screened.
