Accommodation
Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a central hallway that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home, rich in period charm, featuring original flagstone flooring, exposed beams and an inviting, characterful atmosphere. Branching off to the left, the sitting room presents a wonderfully versatile space, perfect for use as a peaceful retreat, a reading nook, or an elegant reception area. Traditional deep-set windows complement the room’s proportions, while a striking fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove serves as a charming focal point and a source of warmth and comfort. Opposite, the dining room radiates rustic appeal with its exposed stonework, timber beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace fitted with a further multi fuel burner, providing a memorable backdrop for both family meals and formal entertaining. Beyond the dining room, a stunning family room unfolds — once an old apple store, now thoughtfully converted into a spacious and adaptable living area. A wood-burning stove forms a cosy focal point, complementing the room’s generous proportions and warm atmosphere. Bathed in natural light and with direct access to the garden, this is an ideal space for both lively gatherings and quiet evenings by the fire. From the dining room, you are drawn through to the heart of the home — a beautifully arranged kitchen offering excellent workspace and storage. Fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units, this country-style kitchen includes a range-style oven and hob, along with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. A rear hall at the back of the house provides a useful secondary entrance, accessed via the rear porch, and includes a practical cloakroom/WC. From here, you have access to a generously sized ground-floor bedroom, conveniently positioned next to a full bathroom which is ideal for guests, multigenerational living or adaptable as a study or snug. The ground floor bathroom has been tastefully appointed, featuring a roll-top bath, vanity unit with inset basin and WC. Characterful details continue here, with exposed beams, natural stonework, and deep-silled windows, all adding charm and a sense of heritage to this thoughtfully finished space.

Stairs rise from the hallway to a light and airy first floor landing, where three charming bedrooms are arranged to offer both peace and privacy. All are well-proportioned doubles, each brimming with character and continuing the home’s theme of original features and rustic charm. One enjoys a dual-aspect outlook, flooding the room with natural light, while another benefits from plentiful built-in storage solutions, combining practicality with period appeal. A well appointed family bathroom serves the floor and comprises a panelled bath with shower over, vanity with wash basin and WC.

Outside
Step outside and you’ll find a lovely, private garden that feels like a hidden haven. Mature trees provide dappled shade, while winding paths and a mix of lawn and patio areas create plenty of spots to sit, relax, or enjoy a sunny afternoon. Just off the main house, there’s a spacious stone-built workshop also full of character with its high ceilings, flagstone floor and exposed beams. Whether you’re into woodwork, restoring furniture, or just want a bit of space to get creative, it’s a brilliant bonus. It also offers exciting potential to convert into a guest annexe or Airbnb, subject to the necessary consents perfect for generating extra income or hosting guests in their own private space. Next door, a store and covered lean-to give you even more room for tools, logs, or garden gear. There’s also a separate outbuilding, ideal as a studio, home office, or simply extra storage. Altogether, the outside space offers so much potential whether you're green-fingered, hands-on or just love a bit of peace and quiet outdoors.

Townsend Farm House makes a charming first impression with its thatched roof, whitewashed walls, and stone boundary wall giving it real country character. A timber porch provides an attractive frame for the entrance, while a gated carport offers handy off-road parking and access to the rear. The adjoining stone workshop adds both visual appeal and practical space, all set along a quiet village lane.
