The Cottage
This characterful home is set in a peaceful rural hamlet just outside Long Sutton and enjoys a private position with views across the surrounding countryside.

At the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes an integrated oven, gas hob, and dishwasher, with further space for a freestanding fridge. Adjoining the kitchen is a rear lobby, ideal for coats and boots, which in turn leads to a utility area and ground floor shower room.
The main sitting room is dual aspect, generously proportioned and features a second inglenook fireplace with a gas fire and another window seat. B...
