Property description
UNEXPECTEDLY REAVAILABLE!! A rare opportunity to purchase this enchanting little cottage - PROCEEDABLE BUYERS ONLY - preference will be given to people who can act quickly... PLEASE NOTE - this property is not suitable for families. VIEWINGS AVAILABLE ON SATURDAY 20th February 2016 OR SOONER (depending on availability).
Nestled in a quiet semi-rural lane in Upper Hale is this simply exquisite cottage offering an abundance of character throughout. Countryside lovers will be entirely charmed by the peaceful setting and the magnificent views from the upstairs windows, and yet will be delighted to hear that there is a Tesco Express and a selection of highly regarded pubs and restaurants within a short walk of the lane.
