This Luxury Farmhouse combines the heritage and charm of an historic old dairy farm with the style and chic of 21st Century living.

The house is situated in 100 acres of farmland and was completely renovated and refurbished over two years using the finest craftsmen to restore features such as the inglenook fireplaces, old bread oven, original flagstones and large elm floorboards to name but a few. Whilst preserving the old, the owners have also added the style and comforts of 21st Century living, with luxuries such as the hot tub, cinema room, wet room showers and bespoke designer kitchen.

Why not enjoy a tranquil countryside walk with your dog, before relaxing and unwinding in the massaging hot tub with a chilled glass of champagne. For the more active, the games room, kids play area and Nintendo Wii should keep even the most restless entertained. Either way, the house has been designed to cater to everyone’s needs, from young to old, modern chic to classic elegance, to provide you with a truly memorable experience.
