Callaly Cottage is a Grade II listed property with a date stone of 1624, and which was probably extended in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The house has a good deal of period character including exposed beams, wooden floorboards, ingelnook fireplace and a bread oven, and while it could do with some updating, this cottage could make a perfect family home.
The reception rooms are spacious and charming with tons of character; the drawing room has access out to the rear garden while the kitchen has a lovely alcove with space for a dining table and a door to the garden room.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the second floor has bedroom five and a dressing room, which could also be a playroom or a study.
