THE PROPERTY Walnut Tree Cottage is thought to date back to the mid-17th Century and enjoys a fine position set back from the road within this pretty village boasting some of the finest views in the county.

Particularly worthy of note is the approximately 50 ft garden room with a glazed rear elevation incorporating two sets of tri-fold doors and two sets of French doors allowing wonderful far reaching views of the garden and countryside beyond.
