This six-bedroom Tudor farmhouse has been in the family for five generations, and has been constantly added to over the years.
1/8 Dining hall
With the help of grants from environment agencies, the Grade-II listed former grain barn has been converted into a magnificent space complete with a vast dining table for family parties.
2/8 Front facade
The imposing entrance to the house, a carriage driveway and extra windows to the back of the house were all Georgian additions, which have engrandised the house.
3/8 Galleried barn
Much of the furniture in the converted barn, with its gallery, exposed beams and brickwork, was undertaken by a local joiner. Find someone in your area with our Find a Tradesman tool.
4/8 Panelled walls
Period features remain throughout the house, including some fine linenfold panelling in the hall.
5/8 Sitting room
The traditional country theme continues in the sitting room, with locally-bought, brown wood furniture lining the room, and a green sofa with embroidered cushions that epitomise laid-back country style.
