In the additional cottage accessed via a separate staircase is a pretty bedroom, again overlooking the green, with an ensuite a study / further bedroom that could also be used a nursery or smaller single bedroom.

The house is wonderfully versatile, overflowing with charm and history. The garden has been lovingly tended to by the previous owners with areas of wild garden, vegetable patches and little seating areas that take advantage of the sun at various times during the day. It is also quiet and private.
