Property description

Description This brick, flint and pantiled property is thought to be two or three hundred years old. It has been modernised to a basic standard and now lends itself to further improvement. There is a small front garden with access at the rear to an old well with a lean-to store and yard beyond. The garden with a lightweight garage lies thirty yards further down The Street. Hereby Childers could serve as either a permanent or holiday home as is testified by the neighbouring cottages.

The fine flint parish church stands near the heart of the village en route for the historic Thornage Hall.
