Agents note As is typical with a property of this style the cottage does have restricted head height at various points throughout. We recommend discussing this with a member of the sales team before viewing.

We believe the thatch is in need of replacement. The vendor informs that the ridging was replaced within the last 10 years - but we do recommend your own survey on this.
