Large Georgian brick built farmhouse

Our home was originally a large farmhouse which we have gradually made into our family home. We have restored many of the original features including sash windows, minton tiled floors and doors. We have filled it with a mixture of antique furniture and works of art, many of which created by us and other family members. We have to tried to keep our interior colourful and fun with a blend of old and new. Our friends and family often comment on our unusual finds!
Our home is spacious with 2 double bedrooms and 2 large children`s bedrooms with single beds. It is a smoke free home. We have an adorable 7 month old kitten (Pepper) who is pretty independent but also loves fuss. We have a cosy snug, large living room, kitchen, pantry, downstairs WC, 2 large bathrooms, a studio, utility room and boot room, a very large garden (including a 1/2 acre edible garden) and a yard area with ample seating and a raised pond. We also have 6 ducks which are straightforward to care for but I can easily arrange a duck-sitter if you would rather not. There are lots of things to keep older children entertained!
