Come for a grand tour…
Broken Green Farm was built in the 17th Century. The main house is a former farmhouse that has been renovated in an art deco style.
The agents pit it as being perfect for those with equestrian interests, or those who wish to run a business from home, or want additional accommodation for family or to let out.
The land totals over four and a half acres and included in the acreage is space for grazing as well as formal gardens.
There is an outdoor arena measuring 20x40m and bordered by post and rail fencing and hedges.
There are three useful barns. They are modern and have been recently refurbished to provide storage areas or could be used for other purposes, such as workshops or stabling space, subject to the necessary permissions being obtained.
Another key feature of the property is the cottage, which has three bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room.
The main house has accommodation set across two floors and there are four bedrooms in total.
Many quirky period features can be found throughout. These include high vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, brickwork and an art deco fireplace.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with an extensive range of units and an island together with numerous integrated appliances including a Japanese hotplate and a steamer.
