This historic 450-year-old thatched farmhouse is rich with character and history. Once part of a working farm, the property originally stretched all the way to the river and was home to cattle and orchards. Known locally as a "cider house", it�s even believed to have been a place where people would gather on the lawn to drink cider, hence the traditional sign still displayed proudly on the front of the house today.

But before you reach the kitchen, there�s a fabulous modern conservatory-style space, ideal as a garden room, additional dining area, or peaceful retreat to soak up the surroundings.

Beyond the kitchen is a standout feature: a second lounge that offers excellent potential for a self-contained annex or Airbnb. This part of the home includes a dedicated utility room, which could easily be reconfigured into a kitchenette as it benefits from its own separate entrance and driveway. Upstairs in this section, you'll find two bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom with bath and shower over. The current owner has run a successful Airbnb from this wing in the past, welcoming guests looking for a charming countryside escape. With the home�s heritage, flexible layout, and welcoming setting, the potential for continued short-stay income is already proven.

Along the landing, you'll find a separate WC and a second double bedroom, which connects to a dressing room or potential nursery.
