Preston-on-Stour

A truly beautiful part-thatched and cruck frame, Grade II Listed detached cottage. Believed to date, at least, from the 17th century and sympathetically extended to provide an enticing blend of very old and new. The extension is of reclaimed brick and tile and is intelligently joined to the thatched cottage, now providing practical overall living space of over 1,400 sq.ft. in the main accommodation. Set in mature private landscaped gardens, the property also boasts an excellent detached garage, office and cloakroom of over 260 sq.ft. There is perhaps further potential here for future Airbnb, holiday let, home working solution, etc. The railway stations of Warwick Parkway (13 miles), Moreton in Marsh (13 miles) and Honeybourne (9 miles) are all within easy reach.
