Description
Blake House, a Grade II listed farmhouse, is a 17th-century property requiring renovation. The heavy timber frame house features rendered elevations under tiled roofs and has the potential to offer comfortable family accommodation once restored. The property has a central reception hall with a magnificent fireplace, leading to three reception rooms with south and west-facing windows. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, a bathroom, and shower room, with attic rooms above. The property also includes a kitchen, pantry, and utility room. Outside, there is an 'in and out' drive, parking, and a double garage with separate garden machinery store and storeroom. The garden is largely laid to lawn with mature planting and an original swimming pool, bounded by fences or walls with a double gate to an alternative access via Lot 1. The property has mains water, single-phase electricity, and a septic tank, although the latter may not comply with current regulations.
