The Property
Dating back to the early 18th century, this delightful Grade II listed cottage is mainly built in stone under a thatched and Colly Weston slate roof, with a 19th century brick-built extension to the rear. It has been home to the current owner for over 30 years and it has charm and elegance only found in a period property. The three large reception rooms all enjoy a dual aspect. The heart of the cottage is an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with tall ceiling and gas-fired Aga. Recent improvements to the property include re-thatching, extensive rewiring and damp-proofing. Outside there are a number of outbuildings and a delightful landscaped mature garden, in all just over half an acre (including a small orchard).
