The cottage is offered for sale with no chain and vacant possession. A real feature of Greystones is the River Carnon which flows through the gardens from East to West, with a wooden bridge providing access to the grounds on the southern boundary. The property has been extended since its original form which is notable for its stone frontage with red brick lintels over and around the windows.
