Occupying a generous plot measuring 1.21 acres, this four-bedroom Grade II Listed Cottage further benefits from far reaching field views to the rear and copious amounts of parking including a triple cart lodge/garage accessible from the road.

This beautifully renovated cottage dates to around the 1750s and was later extended over two stories to the rear to provide generous accommodation measuring 1638.1 sqft/152.2 sqm.
