Description
The property is in a row of four stone-built former farm workers cottages, constructed during the Victorian era and retaining some lovely original features. The property sits on an extremely generous plot extending to circa one-third of an acre and enjoys wonderful rural views over surrounding countryside.

The front door opens into a porch, ideal for muddy boots and wellies and from here there is access through to the welcoming living room with a feature stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, perfect for those cosy winter evenings. There is a staircase leading up to the first-floor accommodation and from the living room there are double doors leading through into the kitchen, which is located to the rear of the house with a window and door leading outside.
