Lake Lane, Barnham

A Jacobean farmhouse of immense character with 6 bedrooms and 4 reception rooms, in need of some updating.

A hugely characterful Jacobean farmhouse believed to date from the 17th Century and with a wealth of features including extensive sandblasted oak beams (mostly of excellent head height), cathedral quality Yorkstone flagstones, ancient internal doors, herringbone flooring and mellow red brick and flint exterior.

The accommodation is extremely flexible with a number of reception rooms and bedrooms that could easily be repurposed as offices, study's and hobby rooms. The garden faces due south and there is plenty of parking. The house will benefit from sympathetic improvement including redecoration.
