Property description

A Grade 11 listed semi detached three/four bedroom character cottage at the heart of the historical village of Shoreham. Originally one house, in the 18th century it was know as Oxbourne Farm. For much of the last century it was one of the chief grocery and provision shops in village, and was known as Central Mart. It was later divided into two units and the original shop windows replaced with the bow windows seen today. The cottage has been in the same family for many years, and whilst in need of upgrading, internally it has an extremely versatile and interesting layout.The extensive rear gardens are well established and stocked with a variety of mature trees and shrubs, and there is off road parking for several vehicles to the side of the property. A delightful and unusual property in a prime position in Shoreham Village.
