* Character and charming cottage in village location
* Extensive refurbishment

Understood to originally date from at least the mid 18th century this
characterful detached mellow stone, brick and tile cottage property was
originally the butchers shop for the village of Ellastone before undergoing a
high quality and sympathetic conversion programme in more recent times.
Extensive refurbishment has most successfully combined retention of much of
the charm and character of the original building (including much exposed
timberwork) whilst incorporating the requirements of modern day living.
Centrally situated in the very popular village of Ellastone the Old Butchers
Shop briefly provides reception hall, sitting room, comprehensively fitted,
high quality dining kitchen and bathroom at ground floor level. There is also
a small gallery study area. At first floor level there are two bedrooms and
vanity room whilst outside there is forecourt parking and very useful garage
