Westcourt Farm is believed to date from 1316 and is a beautiful property of over 4,600 sq. ft. (plus the annexe & party barn) is privately set but only a short stroll from the heart of the highly popular village of Shalbourne. It is Grade II* Listed. In addition to the accommodation and ancillary, it has approximately 8 acres of land (with a further aprox. 20 acres available by seperate negotiation), a swimming pool and a large agricultural barn with solar. The property has been extensively improved and renovated over the years and is now a compelling mix of fresh, light and modern spaces, yet the house retains a clear relationship to the agricultural history of the area. The accommodation throughout is generous and the numerous reception rooms allow a real flexibility as to how they could be used.
