The Property - Parkway Farm blends centuries of history with practical, family-friendly space. The original part of the house is believed to date back to the 16th century, featuring oak framing and classic architectural lines.

The house now offers over 2,700 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation across two floors.

A central entrance hall, cleverly designed with a utility room and WC off, (ideal for children returning from school or hobbies to remove dirty clothing and shoes, or after dog walking) gives access to the kitchen/breakfast room, the study and dining room.
