Woodreeves is a substantial Grade II Listed Period property dating back to circa. 1347 which is part stone, beamed and has been substantially re-roofed in the last 5 years.

Welcoming oak panelled reception hall with pretty handmade oak staircase leads to the right into a second hall with separate external door, two bedrooms and a bathroom. If required this area could easily be altered to become a separate self contained flat with its own separate access.
