Horcutt Farmhouse has a warm and inviting feel, with generously proportioned rooms – ideally suited for a family and those who enjoy entertaining. The house is bursting with charm with a number of features including original flagstones, parquet and tiled floors, attractive fireplaces and large windows which allow not only for an abundance of natural light but in turn, views of the garden on one side, and the pretty High Street to the other. There is a choice of well-proportioned, versatile reception rooms and the four bedroom, two bathroom layout makes for comfortable family living.

Outside, there is a terrace that is perfect for those who enjoy outside dining, overlooking the garden. The garden is simply beautiful, and has been designed, constructed and maintained by the current owners to a standard which is second to none. It is mostly laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of well stocked beds which are full of colour and cleverly planted to provide colour throughout much of the year.

To the front of the house is an enclosed garden with gravel path leading to the front door. Much like the garden to the rear, this garden is simply beautiful and includes roses which sit behind an ornate metal fence. There is a useful garage as well as a driveway providing parking.
