A Rural Retreat - Clarks Farm is a family story dating back to the 1920s where a passion for the land, nature, and simple living merges with a love of local heritage, beauty and conservation. The vendors took time to restore the family smallholding to create their rural idyll. Working with the historic buildings using traditional materials and the surrounding landscape, they have created a restful place with love and attention lavished on every detail.
