General Information -

The Property -

A most charming character cottage full of original features and with low-maintenance grounds, offers versatile accommodation across two floors. The attractive home originally consisted of cottages dating back to 1816, then later years combined to create one spacious detached family residence.  The internal accommodation has gas central heating and provides generously proportioned reception rooms, ideal for entertaining.

A particular advantage of the home is its flexibility, with a ground-floor shower room and study/bedroom allowing for future proofing, an elderly relative, and a party with simple mobility issues.
