Positioned just off the Market Square in the heart of the picturesque and idyllic village of Hanslope, this beautifully maintained four-bedroom period cottage dates back to the 1700s which enjoys a prime central village location. This semi-detached property boasts a stunning garden room overlooking a tranquil and secluded cottage garden, offering a perfect blend of historic charm and modern living.

Originally formed from three separate dwellings, this unique and well-presented cottage is steeped in local history within this ever-popular village setting.
