Description
**NO ONWARD CHAIN** Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Stonebridge, 1 Vine Cottages is a beautifully restored Grade II listed home dating back to 1770. Thoughtfully extended over the years, this three-bedroom cottage has been lovingly restored by its current owners, who have incorporated the original historic bakehouse into the home and added a first-floor extension, seamlessly blending modern design with the cottage’s period charm.
Steeped in history yet designed for modern living, the property has been fully rewired and boasts CAT6 wired connectivity throughout, fibre direct-to-property broadband (up to 100GB), and a Nest thermostat.
