The Property
Fargate Farm is a prominent Grade II Listed property and is believed to date back to the mid-17th century,
sympathetically refurbished in recent years, with a detached one bedroom annexe, the property offers
excellent, immaculately presented, flexible accommodation.
Fargate Farm retains original features such as Cruck beams and exposed beams to ceilings, (of particular
note, a heart with a symbol has been burnt into a ceiling beam in the kitchen which bears a date of 1655,
which is believed to be a sign of a newly married couple moving into their new home and also on a beam
in the sitting room a date of 1677 has been carved). Throughout the property are deep window sills, multipane
windows, painted wooden latch doors, Italian limestone floors by Fired Earth, well fitted bespoke
kitchen, excellent bathroom/shower room and under-floor heating throughout.

maintained with gravel and paved terrace, interspersed by mature, herbaceous borders and a walled
terrace to the side elevation. Timber sleeper steps lead up to the gently sloping lawns, framed by mature
shrubs, trees and hedgerows. In recent years the current owners purchased a paddock to the rear, to which
there are two separate gateways and have opened up the gardens to flow through the land with wild flower
areas, with neatly topped pathways meandering through the paddock land. The paddock could be easily
fenced and returned to a paddock if so required. In all the gardens and paddock land amount to 0.75 acre
