About this property

Property Description

BARKWAY COTTAGE enjoys an attractive location at the southern edge of the village of Barkway. The origins of the property are believed to date back to the late 16th/early 17th century, but there have been extensions and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries which include the construction of four projecting bay windows (there is a more thorough note of the building in the Listed building records, as the building is Grade II Listed).
