This Grade II listed property has character in abundance with a warm, rich history spanning many centuries. Many features have been preserved and the last few owners have been keen historians helping shed light on the property’s past.
The house itself offers over 3100 square feet and comes with many outbuildings. Some are perfect candidates to pursue planning applications for additional dwellings or annex accommodations. The house has a large loft area which has not been converted yet heralds the possibility and an extremely large landing that could be divided to provide an additional bedroom as well.

We moved here on the 1st of August 2002. Built in spring/summer 1555 (by tree ring dating this year) the house is of “Smoke-Bay” type. Stables were on the left of the yard, the milking parlour on the right. 1555 - 3 years before Elizabeth the First ascended to the throne, 30 years before Shakespeare began to write seriously, 32 years before the potato was introduced to the UK and 6 years after the ring finger changed from right to left.......
The Georgian wing at the back was constructed about 1740.
Pevsner mentions the roof massing - “big and tile hung with a complex pattern of gables” The well head in the photo is also separately listed with Historic England.
To the right of the driveway as you drive in are our neighbour’s donkeys grazing. They come in after hay-making.
We will miss Brittleware Farmhouse with all our hearts but I think this will be trumped by our move to Greece where we plan to build our new home.Location Information...
