I even love the wallpaper in this house! “Derwent” was built in 1841. It is located on 20 acres in Powhatan, Virginia. The home suffered years of neglect before the current owners purchased it in the 1980’s. The home was renovated and two wings were added on that sit exactly where the summer kitchen and farm manager’s buildings were located. The home has original hardwood floors, woodwork, original doors, and eight fireplaces. The property has a four stall barn, fenced pastures, and two detached garages. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 5,027 square feet. $875,000
