A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of History – Full of Character and Endless Potential

Tucked away behind private gates and set back from the country road, this remarkable property offers a rare chance to own a truly unique home in an idyllic rural setting. Accessed via a long, private driveway, this characterful residence is steeped in history and offers exceptional potential for transformation.

Believed to date back to around 1706, the property was originally two cottages and a bungalow, built to house local farm labourers. Today, it stands as a spacious and distinctive home brimming with charm, period features, and modern eco-conscious upgrades. Over £70,000 has recently been invested in eco improvements, ensuring energy efficiency without compromising its timeless appeal.
