Property description

DESCRIPTION  

This super three bedroom cottage believed to date back to 1908 has a wonderful garden which backs onto fields. The cottage is deceptively spacious with two receptions one with a fireplace and a lovely fitted kitchen.  There is a stunning first floor bathroom with two bedrooms and a third bedroom on the second floor.  A large driveway gives ample room for several vehicles and the garden is an absolute joy with established trees and shrubs with views over fields beyond.  We recommend an early viewing!
