House For Sale £725,000
This attractive period cottage originally dating back from the 1600's enjoys a delightful location on the picturesque old village High Street within a Conservation Area. In recent years the property has been extended and enhanced further with a two storey architect designed extension, creating a fusion of modern architecture that adjoins the historical character property in an effortless and joyful way. You have the best of both worlds and can find comfort in surroundings that may suit your mood at any time from cosy to vaulted ceilings and flooding light.

The property has been subject to a programme of tasteful refurbishment during the present ownership and the result is a character property which offers a very generous amount of accommodation complimented by pleasant gardens to the front and rear. It has the unusual benefit in this location of off street parking for up to two vehicles.
