Chamberlain Phillips are delighted to introduce this deceptively spacious 18th Century quintessential "Chocolate Box" cottage that offers a wealth of charm and character, set in a semi-rural location surrounded by open farmland.
Formerly "Reedlands Farmhouse" part of the original farm, "Reedlands Cottage" is now a private residence that stands in a plot of over half an acre (stms), believed to have been re-build in 1746 denoted by the oval plaque displayed on the front elevation.
The property has been maintained to a high standard, offering spacious and versatile accommodation for the whole family and ideal for those wishing to adopt a small holding. The property also boasts ultra-high-speed internet currently achieving 900mb
