The Property The property originally dates back to around 1880 and was formerly two separate cottages and later altered to create this superb four bedroom property with one bedroom rear annexe. The property has brick-faced walls with clay pantile roof covering and has had replacement windows and doors throughout of uPVC construction with windows being sash slide and tilt units. The property benefits from being on a large plot of half an acre (subject to survey). The property is heated by way of an oil-fired system with a Worcester Green Star boiler supplemented by the log-burner positioned in the sitting room which heats water and radiators, together with an immersion tank in the bedroom. The property is connected to high-speed fibre broadband.

The annexe wing to the rear has successfully been run as a bed and breakfast for a number of years and the goodwill of the business with future bookings can be passed to the new owner.
