House For Sale £725,000
A charming grade two listed detached cottage of immense character together with A detached coach house having planning permission to convert into living accommodation .

The accommodation has been tastefully refurbished and extended over the years yet retains all the period features so as to provide a well presented, deceptively spacious and light home. There is an abundance of exposed beams and brickwork, wooden doors with ironmongery, sash and casement windows with ironmongery several with views to the Church and Tower, fireplaces, wooden floors as well as high and vaulted ceilings.
