An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a piece of historic countryside real estate, featuring a charming 17th-century farmhouse, an attached cottage, and a substantial barn. Dating back to 1668, this remarkable property spans approximately 5.48 acres on the edge of Tosside Village, offering a rare chance to become its next custodian. Significant investment is required to unlock its full potential.

The farmhouse welcomes you with an entrance hall leading to a 2pc cloakroom, a character-filled living room with a multi-fuel stove set within a striking stone fireplace and bay window, and a dining room with dual-aspect windows. The kitchen features a range of base and eye-level units, a freestanding Stanley range, electric hob and oven with a warming drawer, a Belfast sink with mixer tap, and dedicated spaces for appliances. A built-in cupboard houses the UV filtration system. Upstairs, three double bedrooms include one with an en-suite shower room, complemented by a traditional 3pc bathroom.

The cottage, accessed via a bright conservatory with French doors, flows into a comfortable living room and a well-equipped kitchen with a four-ring electric hob, extractor, and a floor-mounted boiler. A rear hall offers additional utility space, and a 3pc shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two bedrooms are served by a 3pc family bathroom.

The barn is a striking structure, featuring a boiler house with power and lighting, a loose box, and a magnificent vaulted-ceiling barn with exposed timbers. A feature arch with double barn doors opens into the main space, leading to a shippon with coal storage and there are two additional storage areas. The formal yard provides ample parking and it is of course suited by further development potential.

Surrounded by beautifully landscaped lawn gardens, the property enjoys mature trees, shrubs, and a picturesque brook winding through. The rear garden offers serene countryside views, seamlessly connecting to the approximately 4.6 acre field included in the sale.
