Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Tinwell, No. 12 Main Street offers the perfect balance of historical charm and modern living. Believed to date back to the early 1800s, this Grade II listed stone-built cottage was once two separate dwellings. Recently renovated to offer a stunning blend of traditional character and contemporary design, the property presents an idyllic retreat with all the conveniences of modern living.

Spanning two floors, the accommodation comprises three spacious bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms, three versatile reception rooms, and a large kitchen/diner, alongside a beautifully landscaped garden, studio, and double garage.
