Based in the historic heart of this picturesque village, Granary Cottage dates back to the early 18th century.
Its quiet, secluded position has a large, sunny, south-westerly front garden with expansive, picturesque views and a remarkable level of privacy.
The end property of a terrace of traditional red ironstone cottages, its unique space and position gives it the feel of a private, semi- detached house.
In addition to its spacious front garden, this cottage has courtyard space to both the rear and the side as well as extensive, off street parking for five or more vehicles.
The property can be accessed in two ways, via its own driveway (directly from the street) and on foot, via a right of way, past the community of neighbouring properties clustered around a historic yard. On the opposite side of Church Street is a former coaching inn and the cottages were originally service buildings for this and other aspects of the rural economy. There was a bake house, an ostlers house (for the Inn horse keeper) and a mill once stood on adjoining land. Remnants of the mill wheel decorate the garden.
In family ownership since 1943 and enjoyed by four generations. While a traditional, cosy cottage, this property is blessed with unusually high ceilings, giving it a more spacious, airy feel than most. A loved family home that is rare to the market and offered chain free.
