Description - The Little House is an attractive, period residence with elevations of architectural merit. Approximately 400 years ago the next door property was a public house and, approximately 200 years ago, The Little House was built as a private residence for the landlord. It was extended some 100 years ago to the rear to enhance the scope of the accommodation provided and has been greatly enhanced during the last recent years to provide a home of enormous charm and calibre.

The windows have been replaced by fine, double glazed units, the wiring was upgraded where needed, solid hard wood doors were fitted internally, a combination boiler installed, a garage constructed, new kitchen and bathroom suites fitted and the house has been redecorated throughout.

At the time of refurbishment no expense was spared and it is unusual to find a property that has been finished to such a high standard which creates a living environment of eminent quality.
