The cooker previously sold but will not fit in the kitchen of the new owner. Great opportunity to get something to keep you warm in the long cold nights ahead.
Does anyone in the village need an AGA cooker?
“It is oil fired and as well as cooking, it also heated our hot water supply, we have no idea how old it is, but it has been regularly serviced. It will be decommissioned in about two weeks time. We do not want anything for it, but whoever wants it must take it away themselves”.
