A 17th-century farmhouse that featured in a BBC drama is on the market for £2.5 million.

The Grade II* listed Old Manor Farm House, built around 1615, can be found in the picturesque village of Stanton.

The property is said to have retained much of its original character, with exposed beams, stone fireplaces, and flagstone floors.

The house boasts six bedrooms, a study, and a large kitchen and breakfast room, which was redesigned in 2022 with new oak cabinetry and a traditional three-oven gas aga.

There are also several reception rooms, including a drawing room, sitting room, morning room, and dining room.

The sitting and drawing rooms feature oak panelling, which is believed to have come from a local abbey.

Stowhill Estates property agents said: “Old Manor Farm House is a home of real character, history, and presence, yet it remains warm, practical, and incredibly easy to live in.”

The 4,898 sq ft property also has several modern touches, including Nest heating controls, Hue lighting, CCTV, and Cat 7 wiring to the principal reception rooms and study.

Outside, the property features three-quarters of an acre of private gardens, with established planting and mature trees.

There is also a garage, garden shed, log store, and summerhouse.

The house is located in the Cotswold village of Stanton, which is said to offer a “strong sense of community” and excellent access to the wider Cotswolds.

The village is said to be “widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in the North Cotswolds.”

For those who enjoy walking, the Cotswold Way passes close by and there are two popular pubs nearby.

The property has also been used as a filming location for several television programmes.

Both Old Manor Farm House and Stanton High Street appeared in early episodes of Sherlock Holmes, and the BBC used both the interior and exterior of the house during filming for the Sister Boniface Mysteries.
