The Property Grade II listed and 300 years old The Old Butchers House, as the name suggests, was for many years the village butchers and was run by the current vendor up until 10 years ago when she made the decision to turn it into the village shop which has been run very successfully. Several opportunities presents for a prospective purchaser (a) to become an integral part of the village and carry on running the shop, the vendor is more than willing to assist with a smooth handover (b) to incorporate the shop area into the house – it would make a fantastic kitchen/family room/granny annex, a real hub of the home or (c) to create a self-contained annexe for family or holiday let. The present layout provides six bedrooms in total, one is in the attic, a combined sitting and dining room with original glazed doors to an informal dining area, a family bathroom, kitchen, utility room, toilet and office. The property started life as two cottages, and retains lots of original features and character, and both sets of stairs.
