Potential of accommodation. 

UNIQUE and idyllic are two words that immediately spring to mind to describe Shiplake Mountain Farmhouse. 

The property actually comprises a main house, studio, guest cottage and farmhouse, all set on 1.8 acres. 

Current owners embarked on an restoration of the property in a sympathetic and sustainable way, during their 16-year ownership, with incredible results. 

Accommodation in the main house comprises an open plan kitchen/dining space; living room with stairs to a loft bedroom; an office area and second bedroom. 

The guest cottage is a one-bed with its own kitchen/living space while the farmhouse has two more bedrooms.  There’s also a chalet, and studio with charming wood burning stove. 

Combined, there’s a whole world of options and potential here. Shiplake Mountain Farmhouse has shared services, but all properties have separate meters for buyers interested in acquiring the property for agri-tourism or hospitality purposes.Gardens are landscaped with an established organic vegetable garden and the property is powered by working solar panels.
