The double-fronted family house is elevated with wonderful views from the first floor. The cottage is single-storey and quite separate, lying perpendicular to the main house but still high above the village street behind a grassy bank.

Both house and cottage have been beautifully renovated and updated in recent years, and are available for sale without an onward chain.
