THE PROPERTY AND VILLAGE Absolutely stunning home, previously two farmworkers cottages that were demolished in 2006 and subsequently rebuilt using reclaimed brick, thus providing the appearance of a period property, yet enjoying all the facilities that a modern dwelling offers. Notable features include four bedrooms, master with en-suite, three reception rooms, a fabulous living/dining kitchen and detached double garage with space above, ideal for a home office or hobbies room. Allied to this all windows and external doors were replaced in 2023, a new boiler installed during 2020, plus the property enjoys zonal controlled underfloor heating on the ground floor. Personal inspection is the only way to fully appreciate this exceptional property.
