"An Edwardian stone house towards the end of a no through lane on the edge of this sought after village with excellent equestrian facilities including manege, barns and stabling. In all 10.1 acres.

The Dwelling Cherrington Farm Cottage was originally built in 1903 of attractive stone elevations with brick quoins under a pitched tiled roof. The house was extended in the mid 1990s and internally offers spacious ground floor accommodation. Off the hall the sitting room extends to some 28 with a wood burning stove and views over the garden. There is a dining room with steps down to a garden room overlooking the field to the east, and also a step down to the kitchen breakfast room. This is a good family room with an oil fired Aga, a range of wall mounted and floor standing units and ample space for a table. A rear hall beyond gives access to the back door and a study with a safe. A corridor then leads to a cloakroom and a large utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, a range of units and sink.
