Puck Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a circa. 19th-century two-bedroom farmhouse set within approx. 9.3 acres of land, offering huge potential for business opportunities, a smallholding, or a change of lifestyle.

Believed to have been built in the early 1800s, this charming stone farmhouse sits within a substantial plot of 9.3 acres of woodland and pasture, which includes mature orchards and land previously used for agricultural purposes. The plot also consists of a large derelict barn which has previously been used for animals which includes stables, a hay loft and several pigsties. The accommodation comprises two reception rooms, a kitchen, two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. This rare opportunity will offer the new owners a chance to create their dream home within the charming farmhouse and the grounds surrounding it.
