This character end of terrace cottage is set in a wonderfully rural setting, with views to the front and rear over farmland. Thought to have been built in the late 1800s, the cottage is full of character but is a project, as it needs modernising and updating to make it a truly delightful country cottage. It offers country living with views and a very large back garden. On the ground floor are a Sitting Room with a wood burner, a Kitchen, a separate Dining Room and a separate downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside at the front is a drive and a garage. There is room to extend the property subject to planning permission.
