DESCRIPTION
Flanders Cottage is an attached Grade II Listed property, which is situated just a short level distance from the Town Square. The cottage is well presented throughout and has accommodation over three floors. Character features include an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room with exposed stone, brick and beamed lintel, window seats and exposed beams. Formerly the cottage formed part of the Star Inn which is now divided into three properties. They share a gravelled driveway to the parking spaces at the rear with Flanders Cottage having two allocated spaces and gated access to the rear garden. The sitting room is reputed to have been the public bar, and the original bracket from which the inn sign hung is still on the front elevation. Believed to date back to the early 1800s, the cottage is built of mainly local stone with a rendered front elevation under a slate roof. The cottage has a gas-fired central system, good storage throughout and is for sale with no onward chain.
