Rafters is the very essence of an English chocolate box, Grade 2 Listed cottage. Set in a delightfully mature country garden of approaching a half an acre that further enjoys lovely open field views to the rear.
Since owning the property, the present owners have spent a considerable amount of time, imagination and money updating, converting and presenting the property in the best possible light. Now there is a lovely combination of concessions to modern living including refitted bathroom and kitchen set alongside everything you would expect from a thatched Period Cottage. The garden too is a snap shot of country life in its most delightful form.
The accommodation in brief comprises a Living Room, Dining Room/Bedroom 3, Kitchen, Snug, Bathroom with four piece suite and two first floor bedrooms.

Garden

A five bar gate and hand gate open up to reveal the driveway which would take at least two or more cars. This leads down the side of the property and to wooden gates opening to the remainder of the lovely garden.
