4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A stylish Cotswold house in a renowned village.

Description

With its distinctive frontage constructed of Cotswold stone and brick, Earby House is an excellent family property which is attached on one side and was formerly part of the old post office and village shop.

Earby House is ideal for entertaining with a generous sitting room featuring a wood burning stove and a contemporary open plan kitchen with dining area.
