Parsonage Farmhouse Downton

£560,000

Parsonage Farm House is a wonderful home where we've shared so many fun and memorable times

with family & friends. The garden with views of the church is real a delight and the sunsets are simply

beautiful. In the winter months we've enjoyed relaxed roast dinners and cosy evenings in front of

roaring log fires. We are very fortunate to have such lovely neighbours and to live in a charming village

which has a real community spirit (and a good choice of pubs!)
