History of the home:
This beautifully restored Farmhouse has been fully renovated by the current owners. The property used to be two separate dwellings and still features two staircases either end of the property for added character and charm. The family home features a stone built cellar and was acquired with the historic village mission hall which was carefully taken apart, with the materials being reused and rebuilt as the current annex, carport and storage shed. The detached family home has a wraparound garden with ample seating/patio areas, as well as a large driveway featuring an entrance and an exit electric gate.
