4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Dating back to the late 15th or early 16th Century when the property was built as an original ‘open hall house’ Model Farm is justifiably listed Grade II as being of architectural or historical interest. In the 17th Century the central chimney and a floor were inserted facilitating two storey accommodation incorporating a ‘solar chamber’ (a room closer to the sun). Today, Model Farm provides a comfortable home of immense character with a large AGA farmhouse kitchen, a lovely cosy sitting room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Externally the grounds to Model Farm are an absolute joy with mature gardens extending to 1.23 acres and offering a wide range of outbuildings including a self-contained annex with large bed/sitting room, kitchen & bathroom, a former piggery which is currently used for storage but would make a super workshop, a polytunnel and extensive garaging. There is also a variety of trees surrounding the property and apple, plum and pear trees in the orchard.

Enclosed by a range of mature trees and hedging and with no adjacent neighbours, the setting of Model Farm provides the occupants with a wonderful degree of privacy and seclusion.
