Bakers Farmhouse is a handsome early Georgian family house situated on the edge of the highly sought after village of Fonthill Bishop.

It is listed Grade 11, built of mellow local Chilmark stone with part mullion windows and a slate roof.
The property has not been on the open market for several hundred years, and whilst the current owners have improved and maintained the property well, there is scope to enhance the overall layout or extend (subject to necessary consents). The charming walled gardens are mainly laid to lawn and provide the new owner with the opportunity for further landscaping and to create herbaceous borders. There is potential to rent adjoining grazing land by seperate negotiation.
