Wilfred’s Farm, Honing

Description

Wilfred’s Farm is a 300 year old farm house with an original pegged wooden A beam room and tudor bricks in some of the outbuilding walls.

As it’s so old, it is positioned south west to catch the sun for the whole day, meaning it’s a light, bright, cheerful space. Only 50 years ago, Wilfred was farming the land using the shire horses he had bred himself. He thought horses preserved the soil structure better than heavy tractors. He kept chickens, pigs, cows, calves and grew potatoes, barley, wheat, and harvested the many Bramley apples from the five old trees that shelter the side of the house from the field where he kept his horses. The cottage has gorgeous sash windows, lots of nooks and crannies, huge feature fireplace and a beautifully designed spacious garden.

Park your car in the designated (3) spaces to the front of the cottage and walk to the front door.
