The Peter Hoyt House is a classic New England Farmhouse sitting on one acre in the village of Wentworth, New Hampshire, between Orford and Rumney. This is a great location at the western edge of the White Mountain National Forest; near Mt. Moosilauke and the Appalachian Trail. It is on scenic Route 25's emerging "antiques alley." Only 16 miles from I-91 and 15 miles from I-93.

The house and barn were built in 1848 by Dr. Peter L. Hoyt, the town doctor and historian.

This is an ideal building for an artist's studio, photographer's studio, bed & breakfast, antique shop, hair salon, consulting service, or other small business. It has been a retail site for decades. For example, it once housed a woodworking shop with three showrooms.

Wentworth has NO ZONING.

If you dream of escaping from the big city and running your own home-based business in the country, this house could help make your dream a reality.

The house features heavy post-and-beam construction and wide-pine-board floors -- it is a solid, warm and gracious home.

From the front door, it is a short walk to the post office, general store, village common, tennis court, and the village swimming hole.

The house includes 2184 square feet of living space (10 rooms), plus 2456 square feet of business space in the barn, plus 492 square feet of rentable space (a modern studio apartment with a separate entrance). In the photograph above, you can just barely see the apartment at the far right end of the building. The total space is 5132 square feet.
