Description

1 New Cottages is a handsome end-of-terrace property dating from the early 19th century, set within this highly sought-after village location. The property further benefits from pedestrian access to the village playing field.

The property has been lovingly maintained and recently redecorated throughout.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a stylish family bathroom. The second floor is dedicated to an impressive double bedroom with fitted storage and an en suite shower room.
