ABOUT THE PROPERTY

The Green represents an attractive edge of village detached home enjoying large gardens and stunning countryside views across the picturesque Taw Valley, extending in all to about 0.34 acres.

It is believed the property started life as a former farm cottage constructed predominantly of stone elevations beneath a slate roof, exhibiting charming character features with tremendous potential for further improvement or enlargement, subject to any necessary consents.
