This property is reported to be one of the oldest properties in the village and dates to the early 1600s. It boasts an original oak front door, an inglenook fireplace, and wooden beams. From the moment you step into this cosy cottage you will be enchanted by its character and charm.

The spacious country kitchen provides all modern conveniences for a comfortable stay plus a breakfast bar and stools. It won’t be long before your eyes are drawn to the living room with its stunning original character features. Also on the ground floor, you can find the practical shower room and adjoining utility room, which offers plenty of space to store those muddy boots and soggy coats.

Upstairs and through the characterful hallway, the bedrooms beckon, with a spacious king-size bedroom and delightful double you can enjoy a restful night's sleep. The family bathroom is designed for relaxation, with the claw-foot bath and walk-in shower you are free to soak away the day's adventures. The rear door leads from here to the secret walled cottage garden on the southwest side of the property, to take full advantage of the warm sunny days.

Enjoy dining al-fresco at the bistro table or take in the views from the picnic bench whilst watching your four-legged friend enjoy the country air.
