Description
Oriel Farm dates back to the 17th century with later 19th century additions, and is Grade II Listed. The property has been in the same family ownership for several generations, and offers abundant original period features throughout. It has had a diverse range of uses over the years, including being the village public house and a veterinary surgery,

The main property (Oriel Farm) would benefit from some sympathetic updating, which would result in a fabulous family home to suit a number of purchasers and lifestyles. The adjacent self-contained property ‘The Granary’ provides additional comfortable living accommodation, being ideal for extended family, or indeed as a separate letting income provider. There is also potential to create further self-contained space in the office area of the property.
