New Row, Draycott-in-the-clay

Internal inspection and serious consideration of this exquisite period cottage is absolutely essential to appreciate the wealth of retained character and charm, which is complemented by sympathetically upgraded modern living standards. Enhancements made by the current owners include replacement windows and doors (fitted in November 2024), and the hugely impressive refitted dining kitchen. The deceptively spacious accommodation extends to over 1000 square feet including a lovely ground floor extension overlooking the pleasant garden.
