Description
Comprising a four bedroom detached thatched cottage with pleasing colour wash rendered elevations under a thatched roof and believed to date back to the 1600's being of massive oak timber frame construction, much of which is revealed and on show giving an abundance of charm and character throughout. Notice is drawn to the versatile living space with accommodation in total being in the regions of 1800 sq ft, having the luxury of four separate reception rooms and the versatility of a ground floor bedroom.
