Known as Dick Whittington's Cottage, this property is steeped in history and set within approximately 0.46 acres of beautiful gardens that offer picturesque views of the surrounding countryside near Ellesmere.

The first floor hosts three generously sized Bedrooms with lovely vistas and is served by a functional family Bathroom. The outdoor space enhances this property's appeal with ample driveway parking leading to a detached double garage, surrounded by mature trees, floral beds, and manicured lawns designed for relaxation or entertaining. This cottage promises to be an excellent investment for those willing to embark on a renovation project in a serene countryside setting with access to various local amenities and schools.
