four-bedroom cottage of rendered clunch
with gault brick dressings under a thatched
roof. The property offers well-proportioned
accommodation with an open plan living room
and kitchen, separate sitting room and dining
room on the ground floor. Further to this there

period features including inglenook fireplaces,
exposed beams and brickwork.
