Description

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION
Tucked away at the end of a quiet road on White Hart, is this detached circa 300 year old cottage, in need of modernisation throughout, but a one off opportunity to acquire a large and spacious plot. The cottage provides for ample living space throughout, and three bedrooms and main bathroom to the first floor.

The attractive garden is perfect for anyone who loves gardening and wants the potential to live off their land and be semi-self sufficient.

There's an abundance of fruit trees, and mature trees surrounding the plot. There's a number of outbuildings and log store, but is in need of some attention to return it to it's former glory. This home must be seen to really appreciate the plot size and potential!
