Agent Notes

The property has been meticulously maintained with a series of thoughtful enhancements by the current owners. The thatched roof was completely re-thatched in October 2023, offering an estimated lifespan of at least 25 years. In August 2022, the kitchen roof was re-slated using reclaimed period tiles to complement the cottage’s historic charm. Further improvements include the installation of a bespoke front porch in 2018, along with a beautifully crafted kitchen window and stable door. The electrics were professionally tested and certified in 2023, ensuring both safety and peace of mind.
