No 10 The Green has not been offered on the open market since 1950 when it was part of the Home Farm lot in the sale of The Aston House Estate. It was built in the 1840s as an estate workers cottage and so in effect this is the first time it has been offered for sale since it was built.
It represents a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to buy a period cottage, which is in need of a complete refurbishment, in a prime position facing the Village Green, with a substantial garden, giving a complete blank canvas to a prospective purchaser.
