Property description
This substantial accommodation is believed to have been built around 1800 and was formerly three cottages, one being a doctors surgery for the village. The current vendors have made some improvements to the property since they purchased it in 2003 including replacement of the roof, re-fitted double glazing, re-fitted oil central heating system and some of the chimneys lined. This detached residence boasts immense charm with many appealing features and must be viewed internally to fully appreciate.
