An additional detatched outbuilding offers over 1000 ft.² of additional storage/garage space.
Carpenters Cottage has a central courtyard with the entire site extending to approximately one third of an acre. The property is approached from a gravel lane off the village High Street and adjoins the village church right in the heart of this pretty Thameside village.
This unique property offers a rare opportunity to provide a wonderful character home either as one large property or if desired something for dual generational occupation. Of course the option to continue to use Carpenters Cottage as a residential cottage with business premises on site remains.
