The Property
Duck Cottage is a delightful detached Grade II listed 17th Century stone and thatch cottage that was been extended during the 20th century. It enjoys a secluded position set back off the Main Street. The beautiful accommodation retains a wealth of charm and character, which is blended with modern-day living. The sitting room boasts a traditional inglenook fireplace with log burner, whilst the dining room has an exposed brick fireplace with fitted gas fire. Part of the cottage is thatched (straw, re-thatched in 2019) and part tiled. Complimenting the accommodation is a delightful mature garden, in all approximately 0.25 acres.
