We are delighted to offer the opportunity of acquiring one of two ‘farm workers’ cottages each offering plentiful opportunities to extend and modernise. Both cottages are built of local stone with slate roofs and include two bedrooms on the first floor. No 24 is slightly larger with a kitchen to one side, a good size sitting / dining room with a woodburning stove and the bathroom, lobby area and storage cupboard located in a lean-to to the rear. No 25 has the kitchen, store and bathroom positioned in the lean-to at the rear and two reception rooms, one of which features a woodburning stove.
