About the Cottage This country cottage is thought to date back at least to Victorian times and has an attractive front elevation with pronounced Flemish bond brickwork in contrasting, coloured headers and stretchers. The roof is of pitched timber frame construction and now covered in concrete tiles with corbelled brick courses at the eaves.

The property requires a comprehensive repair and refurbishment scheme, having a disconnected central heating system which operated via a stove with back boiler. Though radiators are still in position the stove no longer functions and much of the heating pipework is now disconnected.

The cottage is accessed at the rear via a right of way through the gated archway to the left and round to the garden immediately behind, where there is a solid built garden store or potential workshop. Also, via a pedestrian right of way through the neighbouring garden there is a large garden plot belonging to the cottage with potential for a keen gardener to create a large outside space with ample room for garden outbuildings. Bases are still in situ where garden stores originally stood on the west side.
