Moving through into the breakfast kitchen, you will find the staircase to the first floor, useful understairs storage, the door to the bathroom and the doorway to the living room all radiate from this homely space, with the exposed beams providing the perfect place to hang your pots and pans from.

Cruck Barn
8.35m x 4.50m (27' 5" x 14' 9")
This cruck barn structure, attached to the utility room and having the bright red tin roof you see in the pictures, is believed to be the oldest part of what is for sale, the barn is believed to date from 1545, when Henry VIII was the King of England!
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that, incredibly, this Tudor era structure is not listed, but as it is almost 400 years old, we are sure you would expect to find some attention is required. We know that the metal sheet roofing requires replacing and that there is decay in the roof timbers. However, please note that the barn is not part of the residential property and is to be considered a 'bonus' outbuilding that comes as part of this fabulous detached cottage, which itself dates to around 1650, apx.100 years younger than the barn.
