Historic Charm Meets Modern Potential
Believed to date back to the 1700s, this characterful home is mainly Cobb construction. It has been well maintained, yet it provides an excellent opportunity for you to add your personal touch. The property is accessed via a gravel driveway, with ample parking available. The top driveway is also suitable for parking several vehicles, access is shared with the neighbour.

The entrance porch leads to a convenient WC and an inner hallway with an under-stairs cupboard. The separate dining room, with its dual aspect views of the front garden and pond, provides a picturesque setting for family meals. With parquet flooring and room for a large dining table, it's ideal for entertaining. The traditional shaker-style kitchen offers plenty of storage with imitation granite work surfaces and a handy large cupboard. The adjoining utility room, accessible from the main driveway, houses the oil-fired boiler, additional sink, and space for white goods. Relax in the sunroom, a tranquil space to unwind while taking in the stunning views of the garden and the rolling green hills beyond.
