Pop on your wellies and see if you could call it home…
Thrunton Lowfield Farm is a productive grassland unit, that extends to about 156.66 acres.
The farm is well-known locally for having grass, even during very dry weather, and for the quality of its livestock. It has also been run as a stud.
Some of the land is suitable for horses. And a cross-country course would look very at home…
There are many useful farm buildings, including an American barn with spacious loose boxes.
There are also a mix of modern cattle courts, general-purpose sheds, traditional stone byres and stores.
The stone range, in part, houses the modern water treatment system from the private spring-fed supply but it offers scope for conversion for a range of uses or for anyone wishing to expand the holiday letting enterprise, subject to planning.
The traditional stone-built farmhouse has recently been extended and now provides family accommodation, including three bedrooms, set across two floors.
At ground level you will find a large farmhouse kitchen, separate dining room, living room, sunroom and a main sitting room.
Swallow’s Rest was built to replace an old 1960’s farm cottage in 2021. It is a detached contemporary building with two bedrooms.
It has a balcony as well as glorious views over the land and the surrounding countryside.
