Bucks County farmhouses are defined by their settings and their position on their acreage, overlooking their fields and pastures, with long driveways leading past bank barns and farm buildings. Wheaton Fields Farm is one of the finest examples of these storied properties, boasting 50 acres of woods, fields, pond and even an orchard.
At Wheaton Fields, approach to the cluster of picturesque farm buildings is down a quarter mile drive, nicely removed from a quiet country road. The quintessential 1800’s pointed stone colonial, with rocking chair front porch, has been renovated and enhanced. A 2024 great room addition has three walls of glass, an exposed stone wall, wet bar, skylights, and fireplace, all opening to the sandstone patio with long distance views over the acreage and beyond. Pine, hickory and tile floors span both levels of the home. Throughout, 3 fireplaces, mullioned glass windows with deep windowsills, and period hardware attest to the classic Bucks County farmhouse character. Completing the first floor is a cozy living room with fireplace, dining room and charming country kitchen. On the second floor, there is an open and airy primary suite, bath and two additional bedrooms.
Outside, there are multiple buildings that have been cleverly converted into areas for guests, family, or hobbies. A picture-perfect 2017 pool house was designed to complete the original farmhouse with its own stone exterior. The stunning kitchen and great room with radiant heated floor opening to a covered patio and heated saltwater pool overlooking the orchard and greenhouse. Upstairs, a full bath and two additional studio rooms make this an ideal space for visitors. Nearby, one of the original farm buildings now boasts 3 charming cottages, 2.5 baths, as well as a family room, kitchen and laundry facilities. The three story bank barn includes a wing that has been converted into a studio, with bath and kitchenette. The 2015 pole barn will store every toy and farm essential and has solar panels sufficient to run the whole property. The private pond and dock beckon an afternoon on the water. Finally, there is a greenhouse and a fenced orchard with mature apple, pear, peach and plum trees.

Whether a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, special occasions and other outside events will be celebrated here with joy. The views from the porch and patios provide an ever-changing panorama of seasonal colors and simple evening relaxation under the stars.
