Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a Georgian farmhouse. Built on an elevated site in 1690, and in the hands of the Kirkwood family until 1939, this period property has stood the test of time.
An elegant hallway with grand staircase separates the Dining and Living Rooms. The kitchens, utility rooms and a modern reception room are found to the rear of the property. Upstairs forming the front of the house there are four generous sized bedrooms, each with an open fireplace. In typical Georgian style they are almost identical in size. The rear upstairs of the house is
dominated by the massive master bedroom with 14 ft. barn style ceiling and adjacent to that is a further bedroom which originally would have been the en-suite bathroom (built in an age when outdoor conveniences were considered standard). A second servants’ stairway leads from this to the kitchens below. Outside, an extensive array of two storey outbuildings, animal byres and beautiful arched storage sheds are located directly behind the main house. Post & rail fencing surrounds the 20 acres (8.09 hectares) of quality pasture. Viewing is strictly by appointment only.
