Great Tilden Farmhouse sits at the end of a no-through lane in the village of Marden which has fast and frequent services into London.

The property dates from the 15th century and has an eclectic mix of period details and architectural styles with particularly impressive diagonally set chimneys.

Inside are a wealth of beams and timbers, mullioned windows and a variety of interesting fireplaces. The kitchen, which has a four-door Aga, enjoys views over the 3.5 acre garden.

Outside is a traditional barn which has been granted planning permission for ancillary accommodation. The ‘old wash house’ is one of the clematis-clad outbuilding which acts as further storage.

The house is being marketed through Jackson-Stops & Staff (01580 720000) for £975,000
