About this listing
The principal benefit of this amazingly positioned house within Bunbury village is that is totally private and secluded, so much so that unless you read my directions, you will be unlikely to find it! Nestled at the serene and little known end of the Sadlers Wells, the approach to the house adjoins woodland and feels totally rural, yet is within walking distance of the heart of Bunbury Village. The plot extends to 0.35 acre and the fields adjoining belong to the Peckforton Estate. The cottage was originally owned by the estate before being purchase by the family of the present owner many years ago. When you arrive, you will discover lies truly captivating detached cottage, that is small in stature but brimming with character and undeniable charm.
