Built in the late 1800s and originally part of the Trigon Estate the property is accessed via an unmade track and a gravel driveway. A step then leads you to the main entrance into this detached former farm workers cottage which has been carefully extended. Once inside theres plenty of space to leave muddy boots in the reception hall which has a utility room complete with shower and WC just off to one side.
