Property description
Imagine the image of a cottage on a box of chocolates, this classic DETACHED FOUR BEDROOM COTTAGE is as close as it gets in reality! The stone built cottage is thought to be about 250 years old, fronts onto Summer Lane, which early photographs show was once no more than a muddy track, although now the local bus runs past the property with the shops at St Mary's Square being only a short walk away. Behind the cottage is a delightful \"English country garden\" enjoying both seclusion and sunshine. An added bonus is the driveway parking and garage. Inside the cottage is a real delight with beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace and many of the original latched doors. There is gas fired central heating. A real gem!
