    The property is in a fab location- right next to a river. Only a 5 minute walk from the nearest pub.
  • Judith

    Warm, comfortable, clean. An old quirky property. Its not a new build with perfect walls and finishes and because it keeps its character there may be tiny nuances that upset those looking for immaculate perfection. If you are you won't get it....
