AN EXTENDED Sherfield Cottage dates back to around 1780 and has views over farmland from its location in Hartley Wespall.

The cottage-style home is on the market with a price guide of £750,000 through agents Dreweatt Neate, who say: "The light and airy accommodation is beautifully presented - retaining much of its original character including exposed wall and ceiling timbers and open fireplaces."

The drawing room and sitting room both have open fireplaces. The fireplace in the dining room, which is open-plan to a galley-style kitchen, is set into an exposed brick wall and fitted with a wood-burner.

To either end of the ground-floor accommodation is a study and a utility room. Upstairs has a master bedroom, with an en suite bath and shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
