About the property

Applegarth is an opportunity to acquire a much-loved detached character cottage within the hamlet of Wraxall with beautiful views of Wraxall vineyard to the rear and the vale of Camelot to the front. This property enjoys a mature garden with fruit trees and vegetable garden with double garage and private driveway. The property was extended in 1988 to create a separate dining room and conservatory on the ground floor, with a bathroom and further bedroom on the first floor.
