" A beautifully renovated Victorian farmhouse with two acres of garden and paddock Common Farm is a charming farmhouse originally built in 1884. The current owners have lavished attention on the property and it is now immaculately presented yet still retains period features, including high ceilings and open fireplaces. The recently extended kitchen/breakfast room is ideal for family entertaining and the three reception rooms are light and bright and full of character. The bedrooms are arranged over two floors with lovely views across fields. The gardens lead onto the fenced paddock and have been planted with woodland and fruit trees. EPC Rating E.
