The cottage has been a very much loved and enjoyed home to our seller for the last eight years, during this time it as been extremely well maintained and improved with some replacement windows and new electrics, ceilings and walls. The kitchen units have also been replace with a range of country style floor and larder cupboards with granite work surfaces, new flooring has been laid and an inglenook fireplace revealed.
