Property Description

Cherry Walk circa 1781, located in the Millers Tavern Rural Historic District, was built for Carter Croxton a Revolutionary War figure from Essex County. The main house features handsome flemish bond brickwork, a wood shake gambrel roof, and two elegant chimneys that flank both sides of this late 18th century Tidewater Cape. Original brickwork on the exterior, original doors, floors, hardware, windows, mantels and moldings have remained through the ages. In recent years, the current owners have embarked upon a sensitive and monumental restoration of the main house, fencing and gardens. Water features found on the property include natural streams which meander through part of the woodland with wood duck habitats and a lovely farm pond teaming with aquatic flora and fauna. An in-ground salt pool with new salt system provides a wonderful focal point in the garden and a relaxing respite on hot summer days. A rare and remarkable assemblage of historic dependencies original to the property, offers a rare glimpse into farm life in the late 18th century. The offering of this very handsome home presents a unique buying opportunity to those seeking a renovated and restored turn-key oasis. 95+ acres of pristine farmland, includes mature hardwoods and pine forest, which provide abundant habitats for all types of waterfowl, upland birds, wild turkey and wildlife.
