There is also a regular bus service locally and a popular cafe, The Wishing Well.
This property is more than just a home; it is an opportunity to own a piece of history and to create a future filled with memories. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or the potential to transform it into your dream retreat, Old School Cottage is a rare find that promises a lifestyle of tranquillity and charm.
