Charming spacious cottage with outstanding views and in a most beautiful setting, in need of updating, but with significant potential

This elegant end of terrace period cottage is believed to date back to c.1684, and was originally built as a row of cottages, which were incorporated and significantly extended at the turn of the last century to create an 11-bedroom house; later it was split into three properties
