4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Folley was originally two cottages and is believed to date back, in part, to the 17th century . Over the years the cottage has undergone alterations and extensions, yet still retains many original features. Now occupied as one house with two staircases, it could be possible to close the connecting door leading to the 2 bedroom accommodation (previously a holiday let) which could be ideal for a dependant relative.
