Description
A Grade II listed stone built two bedroom semi detached thatched cottage with an enclosed garden with views over paddocks to the rear. The property has been refurbished by the current owners with modern amenities blended with the retained period features including exposed beams and timbers, and floors. It would be suitable as a first time buy or downsizing.

There is a butler sink, a rangemaster cooker and spaces for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
