Anyone looking for rustic charm and plenty of character might want to consider a converted farmhouse.

There are five bedrooms, including a master ensuite with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom.

The farmhouse has views over open fields and is set in half an acre of grounds including paved walkways, lawns and a pond.

There is also a covered store and a separate barn that agents say could be converted to living accommodation, subject to planning permission Old Upper Farm is on the market for £1.3m. For more information, or to arrange a viewing, contact Carter Jonas on 01865 511444 or visit carterjonas.co.uk.

Another former farmhouse is The Nook in Islip which was built in the 19th century but restored and extended six years ago.

Its many period characteristics include exposed beams, flagstone flooring, window shutters and a cellar.

An unusual feature is that the fitted units in the kitchen are crafted from recycled elm once used to make coffins.

The timber was uncovered in a nearby barn and it is thought it was stored there by a local undertaker.

The sitting room has windows on two sides, solid oak flooring and two fireplaces, including an inglenook, while the family/dining room has French doors leading to the terrace.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, two with en-suite showers and a family bathroom.

Two more double bedrooms with vaulted beamed ceilings are on the flloor above.

The grounds include a terrace, lawn and vegetable garden.

The Nook is on the market at a guide price of £795,000.
