Historic character
A Grade 2 listed cottage with original features, warmth, and the kind of charm only an older home can offer.
Built around 1790, The Little Green Cottage is a home full of stories, warmth, and timeless character. From the moment you step through the door, there is a sense of calm here — the kind that only an old, much-loved cottage can offer.
This cottage is a place the owners hold very dear to their heart. Whether it’s the original timber beams, the glow of the fireplace on a quiet evening, or simply the feeling of centuries held within the walls, there is a certain magic here that makes the cottage feel truly special.
