The village boasts a very pretty church, delightful stone cottages and a listed K6 telephone kiosk, facilities are available about one and half miles away in Hazelbury Bryan where there is a public house, village store and primary school. The property was built in 1947 of non standard construction with a timber frame and timber cladding, as such there may be limited lending sources for a mortgage. The property has been a much cherished and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last twenty one years. During this time it has been very well maintained and improved with replacement uPVC double glazed windows, oil fired central heating has been installed plus a wood burner fitted in the sitting room. A useful lean to has also been added to the side of the house, providing a useful store or workshop area. The inside layout has also been tweaked allowing for a more free flowing space. This lovely home must be viewed not just for the accommodation but also for the outside space and location with those stunning views.
