As you enter the fully renovated cottage, you will find yourself in an airy hallway, with space to hang your coats and store your walking boots. Off the hallway there is a bright open plan contemporary lounge/kitchen/diner. From the lounge, take in the view over the garden and open countryside, kick back and relax on the comfy seating, watch a good movie on the Smart TV after a day out exploring. Heading back through the hallway, you will find a comfortable bedroom with king size bed, a romantic view across the garden where you can listen to the birdsong in the morning. Next door you will find the shower room with large shower and WC. There is a lovely enclosed well established cottage garden with a lawn and abundant colourful flowerbeds throughout the summer which is accessed from the kitchen/ lounge via a couple of steps which lead onto a patio with seating. It offers a real sun trap on a nice day and is a great place to read a good book and enjoy a morning coffee and perhaps catch sight of wildlife such as deer, hares and swifts.
