A distinctive detached period property listed grade II comprising a delightful barn conversion offering beautifully crafted split-level character accommodation together with an attached barn that for many years has been used as a carpentry and joinery workshop offering a further 3000 ft.² of accommodation which has been residentially consented under planning application P 25 S1413/FUL to provide five further bedrooms, together with a statement (living space over 30 m in length).
Carpenters Cottage has a central courtyard with the entire site extending to approximately one third of an acre. The property is approached from a gravel lane off the village High Street and adjoins the village church right in the heart of this pretty Thameside village.
