Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained by the current owner for over 30 years, the property blends historic character with comfortable modern living.

Steps descend to an impressive and generously proportioned sitting room rich in period character, where striking inglenook fireplaces anchor either end of the space and a former bread oven provides an additional historic feature.
Enjoying a dual-aspect outlook, the room is filled with natural light and benefits from French doors opening directly onto the delightful cottage garden.
