AN OUTSTANDING 5 BEDROOM DETACHED GRADE II LISTED FARMHOUSE OF HISTORIC CHARACTER OCCUPYING A DELIGHTFUL SETTING IN THE HEART OF PEVENSEY VILLAGE. Parts of The Old Farmhouse are understood to date from the 16th Century and this wonderful home exhibits all of the charm and character associated with period properties. It presents a most attractive and distinctive appearance having brick, flint and stone elevations beneath a tiled roof with part clay tile hanging to the rear elevation. The property has a wealth of exposed beams and timbers yet provides light and spacious accommodation with surprisingly generous ceiling heights. It has been the subject of considerable improvement over recent years and benefits from gas central heating and a fitted kitchen. Of particular note are the sizeable gardens which back directly onto farmland at the rear.
