The Old Farmhouse c.1650 with later additions is situated in a semi-rural location close to open countryside with RHS Hyde Hall and Battlesbridge Antiques Centre nearby. This well presented residence offers lots of charm and character and has retained many original features including attractive exposed beams to many rooms and particularly in the principle receptions.

The two stairways lead up to the first floor which offers six bedrooms, two with en-suite shower facilities and a main family bathroom. Behind the main house is an expanse of paved patio to for outside entertaining and relaxation overlooking the gardens.
