Rose Cottage is a distinguished, Grade II Listed property nestled along Main Street yet is set well back from the road enabling you to immerse yourself in the beauty this charming property offers, and the feel of being quiet and secluded.

From this landing is a further staircase leading to a study/landing space (which could be utilised as a bedroom if required) which in turn leads to a further double bedroom.
The second staircase leads from the sitting room and up to a through room and in turn to a double bedroom (which could be 2 separate bedrooms if desired or a study/dressing area to the double bedroom) and another immaculate bathroom with claw foot bath, walk-in shower and stylish vanity units. This area could be perfect as a guest suite.
