Rowley Lane, Arkley, Hertfordshire

Constructed of mellow red brick, part rendered under a clay tile roof, Rowley Green Farmhouse is a handsome family home believed to have been built in 1895. Internally the house combines light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first floor. Of particular note is the sitting room of elegant proportions, centred on an ornate fireplace and glazed doors opening on to the west facing terrace. Rowley Green Farm has been a much enjoyed family home and may now benefit from some modernisation.
