Dating back to 1890 and situated in the heart of the pretty village of East Lambrook is Well Cottage which is a Hamstone and rendered property offering spacious accommodation, off road parking and a well-established mature garden to the rear. The property sits within the Conservation Area of East Lambrook and benefits from wonderful rural views out across open countryside. The property has been lovingly renovated by the current owner, who has incorporated a clever mix of modern and period features, from the exposed beams, wooden and tiled flooring to its modern kitchen and bathrooms. There is the most fantastic Conservatory/Garden room which runs along the rear of the property.
