A Brief History - Formerly known as "Home Lea Cottage", this property originally comprised of a one bedroom cottage with a stone built outbuilding. Picture cottage (The outbuilding) was always known as a lead miners cottage which is why there is a fireplace on the first floor with a window and bathroom. The vendor of these homes has carried out a comprehensive programme of refurbishment throughout the main cottage and has skilfully converted the outbuilding into a small dwelling whilst retaining a wealth of character and original features. Both properties have been replumbed, plastered, re-wired, insulated to modern standards and fitted out with high quality bathroom and kitchen fittings.
