Description
Lower Oak Hay Farmhouse, believed to date back to the 16th century, is built of solid stone walls beneath a pitched tiled roof. Owned by the same family since around 1967, the property exudes charm and character, with an abundance of exposed timbers, original brick floors and inglenook fireplaces.
While in need of modernisation, the farmhouse offers tremendous potential to create a wonderful family home. The accommodation includes: entrance hall, breakfast kitchen, lobby, dining room, sitting room, and cellar. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master suite boasts its own en-suite, a private sitting room, and access to the loft. In addition, there is a farm office and separate w.c., accessible independently from the main house.
The outside space is particularly special, featuring a beautifully paved courtyard to both the front and rear, an ornamental pond (currently empty), ornamental well and a generous lawn area bordered by mature trees. A gated driveway provides ample parking and completes the setting.
The property is offered with no upward chain. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale, character, and potential on offer.
