This antique, metal roofed property overflows with character and has been lovingly maintained by the same family for 45 years! You have a choice of entrances to this 4 bedroom home. The covered porch welcomes you into a foyer, leading to the fully equipped kitchen / breakfast room. The adjacent dining room provides an intimate space to entertain and flows into the heart of the home - the large living room featuring chestnut beams, wide plank hardwood floors and a cozy brick fireplace. The other side of the house has 14’ vaulted ceilings and is currently laid out as a bedroom with a wood burning stove and a large library & games room, warmed by a magnificent fireplace built with rocks hand picked from the property! One of the full bathrooms is also located in this wing, making it an ideal separate living space for guests. Upstairs there are 4 rooms currently being used as bedrooms, an office and a crafts room. A deck located at the rear of the house provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the 5+ acres, with the added bonus of the unspoiled, protected, conservancy land next door. A further parcel of land across the road is also included. The gardens comprise impressive steps and stone walls, storage shed, an old road from a bygone era, and an enormous 3 level barn which has access for 2 cars on the lower level. All the convenience of the contemporary world, paired with the charm and comfort of an authentic 19th Century farmhouse!

This property's historical pedigree is referenced as "The Beardsley Homestead" within a book called Landmarks of Bridgewater, published in 1954 and written by the Bridgewater Historical Society.
