Rich with history and charm, this remarkable home combines period character with scope for enhancement, making it an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking something special.

On the ground floor, a welcoming porch leads into the hall, setting the tone for this characterful cottage. The cosy lounge provides a perfect retreat, complemented by a separate sitting/dining room. The kitchen with breakfast area offers everyday practicality, alongside a utility and WC. To the rear, a large sun room

The property also benefits from a cellar, offering exciting potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the added bonus of a useful loft room.
