Once a coaching Inn called the White Horse, you can still see where the coach and horses would arrive! There is a cupboard in the sitting room where local people would bring their bread to be baked and a super raised hearth in which now stands a wood burner. There are beams and open beam work throughout the cottage. The cottage is gas central heated with radiators there are double glazed Georgian Bar windows to the front of the property. There is a garage to the rear which is accessed via Oak Tree Close and the property is within walking distance of Marden village and the main line station. Early viewing highly recommended!
