A shared driveway to the side of the adjoining cottage gives access to a single garage (the right hand garage of the pair) which has an 'up and over' door and provides useful storage. There is off-road parking available directly in front. Gated access beside the garage then leads through to the rear of the cottage, with steps to the back door.

Agents note:

We are also marketing the adjoining cottage, 1 Hill Farm Cottages, for sale on behalf of our clients. Further information can be provided upon request. Both properties are available to purchase at the same time and the price for each property would then become £275,000. The properties are not yet registered with land registry and therefore this will need to be done during the conveyancing process.
