Pear Tree Cottage, originally a farmhouse set in the heart of the village of Box. Built around 1500, the property was fully refurbished some 30 years ago, by the current owner.

At the time it was fully reroofed, replumbed and rewired. The renovation was carried out to a very high standard and with an empathy for the building, with oak doors and flooring all with the approval of the conservation department.

It is presented in immaculate order throughout with high quality bathroom and kitchen fittings and with some wonderfully proportioned rooms. The accommodation is set over three floors and the whole house is set in attractive gardens, with a driveway leading to the triple garage carport with a large office potential annexe above.

Pear Tree Cottage is a wonderful family property and a viewing is strongly recommended by the sole agents Cobb Farr.
