A charming period cottage on the edge of an exclusive gated development. Vine Cottage is a property of considerable character which unusually has been in the ownership of the same family since 1923.

The accommodation briefly includes on the ground floor an impressive 26ft sitting room with beamed ceiling and multi fuel stove, a dining room which opens onto the walled garden and a breakfast kitchen. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms with full height ceilings giving a real feeling of space and a luxurious bathroom.
