The oldest part of this Grade II Listed house dates back to the 17th century. The building is constructed with a mixture of traditional timber frame with render and brickwork. Broken Farm sits in a plot of about 4.5 acres, 3 of which are paddocks/meadowland.

When the current owners moved in some time ago they renovated the property, which is now a mixture of the old with some exposed timbers and more modern with much art deco styling. The bright and airy accommodation is arranged over two floors with a particularly impressive entrance hall with staircase to the first floor, there are four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room with central island and a utility room. On the first floor there are a total of four en suite bedrooms, two with dressing rooms.

Outside, a country lane leads through a remote controlled gate to a gently meandering driveway which bisects the house and outbuildings and leads to a generous area of hardstanding and parking, the outbuildings are a significant feature and are all in good order, some brick and some timbe framed, providing excellent storage and a workshop but could provide additional accommodation if needed.

To the front of the outbuildings there is an attractive brick annexe with two interlinking first floor bedrooms and a bathroom and on the ground floor a bedroom, kitchen/dining room and sitting room.

In one corner of the grounds there is a purpose built metal framed storage building which provides garaging and storage over two floors. To one side of the house there is a manege and paddocks with post and rail fencing. The gardens around the house are laid to lawn with a fish pond, some planting and a sizable terrace adjoining the house.
