Named after the historic area of Wallingfen, the property has been updated over the years whilst retaining much of the charm associated with a home of its age. The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading through to a living room featuring a beamed ceiling and log burning stove. A modern breakfast kitchen provides practical everyday living and is complemented by a useful ground floor W.C./utility room.
To the first floor are two bedrooms together with a modern shower room, all presented to a good standard throughout.

In addition, there is the benefit of a garage and parking for multiple vehicles.
Offering character, history and practicality in equal measure, this is a property that will appeal to those seeking something a little different from the ordinary whilst remaining within easy reach of the village amenities.
