Description
This 15th century Grade II Listed cottage is situated at the end of a small row of cottages and boasts a rich history. The property is believed to have originated as a standalone house in 1450, with Elizabethan chimneys and an inglenook fireplace added possibly in the 16th century. The external walls were bricked from the ground floor to the first-floor level during this time. Over the centuries, the row of cottages was converted into workmen's dwellings, and in the 1990s, planning permission was obtained to renovate the property, involving the removal and reinstatement of the roof, opening up fireplaces, and installing new damp-proofing measures. Today, the cottage retains many of its original features, including the Elizabethan chimneys and inglenook, and offers two bedrooms and a garage with parking.
