A beautifully presented and characterful period family home offering four double bedrooms, together with an adjoining two-bedroom cottage, both enjoying attractive walled gardens in the heart of this highly sought after village.

A classic Grade II listed period house in the heart of Broughton, with cream-washed brick elevations beneath a slate roof, attractive sash and period windows, a beautiful fanlight above the main entrance, and a distinctive raised oval window in the drawing room.

Further features include two cellar areas, attractively landscaped walled gardens serving both the house and cottage, and a brick-built, slate-roofed studio within the main garden, offering potential for conversion to a home office or workspace.
