The Hancocks 1850's farmhouse sits in a two acre garden approached through its own meadows. The house replaced a much earlier dwelling then surrounded by its own small village including a church. All that survives from that era is a barn dating from 1550. The Hancocks bought the farm in 1998 from a farmer who had lived there since the 1940's. It was in a state of considerable disrepair. Restoration began in April 1998 and took more than a year to complete.The qualities the Hancocks love about the house are the size and proportions of the main rooms the Georgian style of the windows and the quality of light; there are windows on every side. Bumble has taken a classic approach to the furnishing and decoration. A backdrop of painted walls fine printed linens and comfortable furniture were high on her list of essentials. This is a house for easy living she says.
