The Dwelling Linnet cottage is believed to have been built in the early 19th century and was extended in the 20th century with the Annex created in the 21st century.

The kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive range of hand built timber units and cupboards with an electric Rayburn built into the original fireplace with to one side a dining area. Similarly to the sitting room, the garden room is a good square space that makes a good entertaining area during the summer months with double doors onto the garden with to one side a door through to the bathroom.

Upstairs there are three good bedrooms and a WC while in the roof space there is another useful room that can be used in any number of ways. On the end of the annex is useful utility laundry room. The property has gas central heating equipped with a one year old gas fired boiler, is in excellent decorative order throughout and the roof was rethatched just six years ago giving it a lifespan of circa 20 years with the exception of the ridge.

The Annex this building makes an outstanding holiday let or ancillary accommodation for the main cottage and can be divided into three separate spaces. On the south side there is a lovely L shaped living room with a dining area and sitting area with a door to one end onto the gardens and a wood burning stove as its focal point. To the centre of the annex there is a well organised kitchen while to the rear there is both a bedroom and a shower room.

Outside To the front of the house there is a courtyard laid to hard stand providing parking and turning for a number of cars enclosed by a pair of double gates onto the road .
