Description
Dovedale Farm is a charming stone-built farmhouse set in a picturesque rural location, enjoying south-facing views across open countryside, including Silverhill Country Park. Originally dating back to the 17th century, the property was substantially extended in the early 2000s, creating a spacious home of over 2,500 sq. Ft.

The accommodation comprises an inviting entrance hallway, a well-proportioned kitchen, dining room, and three reception rooms, including an impressive 33ft lounge with vaulted ceiling. There are three double bedrooms, a single bedroom/office, two bathrooms, and a utility room, offering flexible living space for a variety of needs.
