Description - Acorn Cottage is the largest of four terraced, period barn conversions and this particular property presents most attractive elevations of stone and painted render with double glazed windows beneath a tiled roof. The property has been very tastefully modernised to combine quality 21st century refinements with original period features and there is extensive use of oak and natural timber internally.
