THE PROPERTY
Putts Cottage is Listed Grade II as being of architectural and historical importance. The terrace is likely to have started life as a larger property built on a massive oak timber frame with traditional rendered elevations under a mellow clay tiled roof. There are wooden casement and sash windows and the house has been beautifully restored inside using traditional materials, colours and finishes. There is a handmade painted hardwood kitchen with real wooden worktops and a butler sink, newly installed. Upstairs is a Victorian style bathroom and two double bedrooms. There is a good sized well stocked garden with views beyond towards the valley, together with a detached garage and further parking space. Putts Cottage presents the opportunity to enjoy amazing peace and quiet with surprisingly good communications including superfast fibre broadband which is currently being laid on in the locality and should be available at the cottage later in the year. In the past it has been run as a very successful holiday cottage.
