Restored 1820 Waterford Village Farm

The Walker-Phillips House was built in 1800 and sits on 2 and a half acres in the heart of Waterford, a National Historic Landmark. The house was restored in 2016 and has been featured in preservation and Country Living magazines. It has a large eat-in kitchen with a cozy sitting area next to a huge wood-burning fireplace. There is a great commercial stove with ten burners and two ovens. The kitchen is fully stocked and opens to a porch with a dining table and has stairs to the yard, which has a large fire pit and seating. The house backs up to The Phillips Farm, 150 acres of preserved farmland, with walking trails, owned by the Waterford Foundation. There are three main bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with two twins, and a third floor bedroom with a king bed. The bathroom is located on the second floor and has a tub and hand shower only. All linens and towels are provided. There is radiator heat, and air conditioning in the bedrooms only. The house stays nice and cool in the summer without it. The back porch has an incredible pastoral sunset view, where you can watch the neighbors sheep graze every morning and evening. It's a wonderful retreat in the country and also a step back in time. There is a wonderful outdoor shower, tub and sink for use in the warmer months! We have 8 charming goats, 5 chickens, two barn cats and one rooster. During the warm months the goats are away on "jobs" eating brush at local farms. They return in late October. There are flower, vegetable and herb gardens on half an acre and a two acre pasture beyond that where the goats live in the fall and winter. The owners may be working in the gardens or tending to the goats, depending on the season, but can coordinate those activities with guest schedules if requested. See more reviews on Airbnb.
