'The Old Farmhouse' is a Grade II Listed thatched cottage forming part of Little Denmead Farm with the original Granary and Dairy buildings having been subsequently converted into residential homes. The cottage itself is believed to date back to the mid 17th century. This stunning home has been sympathetically modernised with the addition of a 'ground source heat pump' and a fast 22KW/H EV charger, whilst retaining lots of the original features, such as the illuminated well, the cellar and the inglenook fireplaces. The later addition of the Sitting room provides contemporary styled living complementing the traditional cottage style.
The internal accommodation offers spacious living from the kitchen/dining area with the addition of the study, to the three large reception rooms on the ground floor, with the five bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor accessible from two separate staircases. Sitting in approximately 2/3 of an acre, the rear garden gives access to additional gated parking and a large timber framed garage.
