History
The property was built c. 1750 and was the homestead of the Lyall family who were influential members of the merchant and agricultural class in the area at the time. Indeed the property gets a mention in the Barchester Chronicles as the birthplace of Robert Lyall, a member of the family who eschewed the merchant lifestyle and went on to become an influential member of the Church of England eventually being appointed Dean of Canterbury.
It is a Grade C Listed Building meaning that sympathetic restoration and extension are permitted and these have been undertaken by the current proprietors to the highest standard leaving no further outlay required.
The Farmhouse also offered Bed and Breakfast accommodation in its more recent history and was a popular pit stop for those travelling on the ai which is on its doorstep. For eighteen years now it has been the family home of the current occupiers and family reasons mean they are reluctantly considering a sale.
