Description

This Grade II listed detached home features four bedrooms and dates back to approximately 1500, providing a unique blend of historical charm and significant renovation potential.

The first floor hosts four bedrooms along with a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room connected to the primary bedroom.

In addition, there is a small storage barn at the rear of the property. The absence of onward chain simplifies the purchasing process.
