Description: The property comprises a circa late 19th Century, semi- detached cottage, with granite elevations under a slate roof. The cottage incorporates the old village school room, which adds interest and an unusually large reception room for a house of this type, with a high ceiling and a minster stone fireplace. The house is set in a plot which extends to approximately 0.22 acre, with gardens and a stone outbuilding, which appears to be the old school facilities.
