Property description
A deceptively spacious (approx 1750 sq ft) and very well presented, attached period cottage originally constructed for the gardener of the nearby Salisbury House in circa 1904 - extended and modernised over recent years yet retaining a charming, characterful feel and further benefits from a large single garage, parking for two cars and a south westerly facing garden.
Positioned 'off the beaten track' - away from passing traffic and at the end of a private driveway shared with just one other house.
