Botton Mill - Charming 3 bed detached Grade II listed property of immense character, set in a wooded clough alongside a stunning hidden waterfall. Buyers seeking peace and solitude surrounded by nature, need look no further.
Extensively restored in the 80s, this unique country residence has subsequently been extended by the current owners to provide comfortable and inviting accommodation, suitable for families or couples.
