At the heart of the home, the kitchen combines classic Shaker cabinetry with sleek granite surfaces, a central island and a range cooker set within a chimney breast.

Approached by a sweeping gravel drive behind secure walls, the property offers ample parking alongside a detached garage. Blending history, elegance and modern practicality, Craigston Cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home in one of Horsell’s most coveted addresses.
