Description - Ashcroft is believed to date back from the later half of the 19th century and is constructed of brick under a slate roof. It was tastefully enlarged in the 1980's and has a particularly attractive front façade. The layout is suitable for family living and a smaller household, but the cottage does require a scheme of upgrading to meet with modern standards. Indeed, there is tremendous scope to improve the cottage in keeping with its surroundings.

Ashcroft is approached through brick gate pillars and wrought iron gates over a concrete and gravel drive to a car parking and turning area in front of the garage. The striking garage block is a significant asset and can be utilised to suit individual requirements, subject to planning permission.
