An attractive stone cottage offering spacious accommodation, traditional features and a leafy woodland outlook. Arranged over two floors, the property includes a generous living room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom, together with a useful store room, paved terrace, garden and ample parking.
