General - A charming period cottage dating from the 1700s which was formerly the village post office. It is believed the cottage was once lived in by the famous clockmaker Samuel Deacon and the original well is incorporated into the house as a feature. The cottage is full of period character with beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and a covered well. The present owners have improved and remodelled the property with considerable style. There is now a wonderful open plan living kitchen with inglenook fireplace, an elegant sitting room, snug and home office. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms including a master suite with dressing and shower rooms. Outside, there is a pretty south facing walled garden and a large detached double garage with games room over.
