Six guests and two canine companions have the run of this property, which features characterful living spaces and a lovely cottage garden. With a village pub 300 metres away and historic landmarks on the doorstep, it’s ideal for those seeking to balance village life with gentle exploring.
Inside, this cosy cottage is every bit as charming as its chocolate-box exterior. Exposed stone walls, rustic beams and period furniture combine with relaxed rural decor for a warm, country-cottage ambiance. Leave boots and coats in the hallway, before heading into the welcoming lounge, where statement sofas, an ornamental stone fireplace and a Smart TV provide a relaxing spot. When tummies rumble, the country-style kitchen makes cooking a pleasure with its blend of characterful features and modern appliances including an air fryer. You’ve plenty of options for dining too from a formal dining room to a sunroom and al-fresco dining in the garden, and there’s a useful office space should you need to work while away. Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms blend pretty linens with period touches. Choose between an en-suite double featuring an indulgent, freestanding bathtub, and a double and a twin which share use of a light and fresh shower room. Edged by mature trees and raised beds, the tiered cottage garden has patios for dining and a lawn for kids and dogs to play. There’s gated side access, and private parking for two cars reached via a neighbouring property.
