Description: A former railwayman's cottage situated in a quiet location close to the Swan Hotel. The cottage is one of a terrace of similar properties with a front garden that runs down to the single track line for the local steam trains, and with a small garden, useful shed and parking space to the rear. Inside you will find two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor, and living room, dining kitchen, utility and rear porch.
The property was re-roofed in 2021 including the installation of solar panels.
Location: Enjoying a pleasant semi rural location yet within minutes of the popular Swan Hotel Bar and Restaurant and with good links to the main road network.

Proceed over the bridge passing The Swan Hotel, turn right and head over the railway bridge where the driveway to the cottages can be found immediately on the right.
