A delightful period detached cottage set in the heart of this wonderful Thameside village. One of the few surviving examples of early 17th century village properties of immense architectural interest. Listed Grade II, with good sized south facing gardens and overlooking the fine ancient church St James the Less which was constructed in 1866 and is certainly the second if not the third church on this site from a charter dating back to 1175.

There is quite obviously immense potential for further improvement and subject to listed planning approval taking out of the modern floor in the kitchen and lowering the floor as at present there is a restricted head height in this pretty beamed room.

The gardens are delightful and have been tended with care over many years by the present family who have occupied the property until just recently from 1979.

Originally two cottages, Blue Daws could be a wonderful second home or, with some modernisation, a primary residence.

? Bedroom 1 on the first floor has an ensuite WC and hand basin, the main bathroom is on the ground floor
? Both the first floor bedrooms have doors giving access to under eaves storage rooms and both these little rooms which have restricted head heights have windows
