Description

This charming Grade II Listed thatched cottage embodies the quintessential English countryside aesthetic, nestled within tranquil gardens that offer picturesque views. The property comprises four bedrooms, including the potential for further development with a detached annexe that could serve as additional living space or a rental opportunity. Homewell Cottage has historical significance, dating back to the early 18th Century, and features traditional characteristics such as exposed beams and an original Inglenook fireplace.
