Lot 2: Blake House 1.10 acres (0.45 ha)
Now requiring renovation, Blake House is the original farmhouse and is listed Grade II. Believed to date from the 17th century, the house is of heavy timber frame with rendered elevations under tiled roofs and once restored it will offer comfortable family accommodation. A front door leads into a fine central reception hall with magnificent fireplace and doors to the three reception rooms which face south and west. To the rear there is a kitchen, pantry and utility. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room with attic rooms above.
Outside, access is from an ‘in and out’ drive which gives vehicular access to the back yard where there is parking and a double garage with separate garden machinery store and separate storeroom. The garden is largely laid to lawn with some mature planting and to the centre there is an original swimming pool. The garden is bounded by fences or walls and to the rear there is a double gate to an alternative access via Lot 1.
