A QUITE CHARMING AND MOST ATTRACTIVE GRADE TWO LISTED SEMI DETACHED COTTAGE DATING FROM THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY when it was originally a farmhouse probably divided into cottages in the mid/late nineteenth century. The cottage was further refurbished in about 1970 retaining the wealth of period features including oak beams, brick inglenook fireplace with a log burner, some leaded light windows and original doors.
Externally the cottage benefits from a detached garage as well as a private rear garden.
Properties of such immense character in a village setting can be difficult to find so an early viewing is strongly recommended.
