Rare historic home known as Swallowfield is situated on 8 gorgeous acres, mostly in pasture, is surrounded by farms and woods. Perfect setting for a small farm operation, horses and any other farm animals. Home also has huge bank barn, several outbuildings along with pristine inground pool. Home has 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, large country kitchen and formal dining room and living room. 3 working fireplaces. Warm oil heat along with central air conditioning added later. 200 amp electric service along with back up propane generator. Home is in excellent shape and dates back over 200 years. The core structure of Swallowfield was built on land grant land. The life of the Swallowfield dwelling parallels the life of the nation….from a very small structure, at the beginning to the addition added prior to the Civil War and to the final addition during the Victorian Period…… the house was originally on 100 acres of farmland throughout. The barn and springhouse still exist, the house still carries its history proudly and enhanced as a well restored house with all the amenities of a new house. Historically, this property was a recognized stop for the underground railroad too. It is on the National Register of Historic Places too. Truly magnificent property.
