Hawkstone View Cottage is thought to date from the late 1700s and was formerly the gardeners' cottage serving the nearby Old Hall at Wollerton.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property has been extensively renovated since, but retains much of its historic charm.

The home is full of character features including exposed beams, fireplaces and original floorboards.

Outside the home is a long, lawned garden with raised kitchen beds, a young orchard area with apple, pear, cherry and plum trees along with gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes.
