THE PROPERTY

Martins Farm is a Grade II listed granite farmhouse dating originally from the mid 16th Century with 18th Century alterations and further 20th Century modifications. It retains the quality core of the original building with champfered beams and granite fireplaces left from the original cross passage house. The property has immense character and is generously proportioned throughout. It faces south south east at the front where the front garden adjoins its own 4.4 acre field, whilst at the rear there is a large grassed yard which is elevated and sunny. Martins Farm is an ideal family home with six bedrooms, an en suite shower, two bathrooms and a galleried landing, whilst downstairs there are four large reception rooms, a smart kitchen with an Aga, a pantry and a utility room. We strongly recommend viewing to fully appreciate this home.
