Restored and extended to retain the character, this attractive cottage has good modern day accommodation in this very attractive setting. Flowering cider pear trees still line the drive for Spring blossom and lead to the detached sandstone garages and workshop that could indeed be utilised (subject to planning permission), for other uses. The cottage has landscaped gardens on all sides with mature planting and leads to a large paddock at the rear. Beyond are open aspects across farmland.
