Property Description

Delightful Grade II listed, detached residence, dating back to the 16th century and believed to be the oldest surviving property in the sought-after village of Stratford St. Mary.

Located along Upper Street, within walking distance of the Post Office and The Swan and The Anchor public houses, Gatemans is a delightful period property with character features throughout - including leaded light windows, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces.
