History:

Built in the late 1800s, and converted to a residential dwelling in 2006, Toll Bar Farm is steeped in history, and has a special relevance to the area, as tolls were collected for maintenance and upkeep of the now-known Annesley Lane. In 2003, planning permission was granted for a barn conversion with the original walls and stone as part of the construction. Completed in 2006, the property now consists of five bedrooms, four bathrooms, four reception rooms, a ground-floor toilet, and a washroom in the office bedroom. In recent years, two garages were extended and converted into an annex, consisting of a kitchen diner, living room, shower room, bedroom, and external yard space. Currently inhabited by a relative, the annex provides a perfect place for an office, teenage children, or better still, an opportunity for a short-term Air BNB holiday home.

The property is south-facing and resides on an acre of land. The open courtyard has hosted wedding celebrations, big birthday parties, and family gatherings. The privacy and tranquility of this external lounge area can be utlised all year round, with double doors opening from the living room and kitchen breakfast room allowing freedom of movement throughout the property.

The paddock and two stables have been used for horses and ponies. Stories of the children, and grandchildren, feeding the horses, building snowmen, raking the leaves in the autumn, and playing into the last light of day set the scene for a lifestyle to fall in love with.
