The Inn House, Redmarley..

Redmarley, or Redmarley d'Abitot, is a delightful village situated on the borders of the Three Counties, an area of the countryside characterised by traditional farms and wooded hills. The Inn House can be found in the centre of this quiet village and has a good degree of privacy. Historically, the original settlement of Redmarley dates back to pre-Norman times, with its meaning believed to be "the clearing around the reedy pool", though the old village pond is no longer in existence. The area offers a sought after, rural quality of life combined with excellent road links to the rest of the country.

The Inn House

* A wonderful, Grade II Listed farmhouse offering good-sized family accommodation.
* The Inn House has been well looked after by the current owners for forty years, but does require a degree of updating; a perfect opportunity for the new owner to add their own stamp to the property.
* The property has a great deal of charm and character, including exposed beams and timbers, latch and brace doors and original old copper in the kitchen; a wonderful reminder of days gone by.
* Historically, the oldest part of the building dates back to c.1600's, possibly earlier, and was purportedly used by the Royalists during the Civil War (1642 - 1651) as their headquarters.
* Pretty, mature gardens surround the property.
* There is a small pond in the garden to the rear of the property with vegetable beds to cultivate and enjoy home grown produce.
