About Thorpe Farm

This is an early 1900 brick-red farmhouse with an exquisite setting within 16 acres. A true family home with four double bedrooms, all with ensuites, and a good-sized farmhouse kitchen and dining area, created in 2023, perfect for entertaining and casual meals.

Something about the land tells its own story: a newly planted 6-acre vineyard, the orchard boasting 50 trees, and a large vegetable garden with a polytunnel, giving character to this home. Nestled in one corner of the grounds is a shepherd's hut awaiting some tranquil moments or some accommodation for guests.

The property offers unlimited parking, with full power and water supplies. Rustic heritage meets modern living here, surrounded by nature's abundance.

Thorpe Farm is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.
