A 16th-century property that has gone on the market could be the perfect retirement home as it comes with its own bowling green and pitch and putt golf course.
Millcroft Cottage near Bosbury, Herefordshire, a four-bedroom house, was built in 1580 and extended four hundred years later. It is being marketed with a guide price of £695,000.
The bowling green, which was carved out of a slope, is surrounded by a dry stone wall and could be converted for use as a grass tennis court for the more active.
The pitch and putt course was built by the father of the current owner in 1982 and sits snugly into the two acres of land that come with the cottage.
The property, close to the River Leadon, is spring water fed and has 200 yards of river frontage.

There is one drawback, however. The maintenance of the grounds requires a full-time gardener.
Fortunately, it also comes with a triple garage, perfect for storing all the lawn mowers needed to keep it presentable.
