The shop with kitchen is a much-loved village amenity and sells essentials, fresh produce and work by local craftspeople. The owners also used an adjoining reception room as a tearoom and that could be resurrected.
The cottage has a large sitting room, a kitchen with Esse cooker and ample space for a dining table, a utility room and a cloakroom. There are four double bedrooms on the first floor and three have en-suites and there is also a study and bathroom.
Outside is a south-facing garden and a former hay loft which has been converted into a double bedroom with en-suite that could be let as an Airbnb. There is also off-road parking and a single garage. The property is £520,000 via www.robinjessop.co.uk

4. Village shop
The shop is a well-used village amenity which is well stocked with a range of essentials, fresh produce and local crafts. The owners also ran a tearoom from the large reception room at the front of the house. This is accessed directly from the shop and provided ample space for tables. This could easily be re-established and is currently used as a second living room. Photo: Robin Jessop
