Nestled at the end of a peaceful close just off the village high street, this captivating four-bedroom detached cottage is steeped in history, dating back to the 1600s.

Cherished by the same family for over 50 years, the cottage exudes warmth and charm, with beautifully restored period features and a welcoming atmosphere throughout. The spacious yet cozy interiors offer versatile living, while the generous front garden—screened by mature Laurels and wooden fencing—provides an unexpected sense of seclusion.

Whether you're drawn to its fascinating past, its beautifully modernized interiors, or its idyllic setting, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a sought-after village location.
