Description

Beautifully renovated cottage with generous garden and glorious views, located in a highly desirable village.

Chimes Cottage is an appealing semi-detached cottage in the heart of an historic estate village where mellow stone houses front eachother across a broad street and grass verge. Constructed of local stone with a pantile roof, the cottage is believed to date from the mid-seventeenth century. In recent years it has been sympathetically extended and renovated, retaining much of its original character whilst providing every convenience for modern living, including bespoke Yorkshire sliding sash windows. The outstanding oak-framed extension at the rear is positioned to enjoy glorious views across the garden and rolling farmland beyond.
