Wigthorpe Cottage, Wigthorpe, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, S81 8BT

Wigthorpe Cottage is a truly charming four bedroom detached home situated in a Conservation area within the most idyllic of locations overlooking open countryside.

This is a period, character property that has been completely restored and extended over recent years, creating a truly unique house. The latest addition of the oak orangery to the kitchen gives an open plan entertaining and family gathering space enjoying views across the cottage style gardens.
