<b>Valley Farmhouse</b>
A charming red brick farmhouse dating back to the 1800s, set back from the road in the heart of Charndon.

The master suite bedroom has wonderful views over the garden and land, and there are four further bedrooms with a family bathroom. The house extends to approximately 2,742 sq.ft.
The farmhouse garden is principally laid to lawn with a number of mature trees. There is a front garden with flower beds and steps leading up to the front door. To the rear of the farmhouse is a patio and BBQ area for entertaining. To the bottom of the garden lies a vegetable garden, with raised beds, greenhouse and polytunnel and small pond.
Originally an annexe to the house, the Black Barn has been more recently been used as a home office. On the ground floor, there is a single garage with electric roller shutter door, WC, kitchen and store. On the first floor is an open plan space, currently used as a home office. There is an external staircase to the garden.
Situated in the garden to the rear of the house is the Stable Annexe. Formerly a stable block, the timber building has been converted and extended to create ancillary accommodation comprising two one bedroom annexes. Each unit comprises a double bedroom, bathroom and open plan kitchen/living area with log burners. One unit has French doors onto its own private garden.
<b>Farm Buildings/Workshops</b>
