The property sits side on to the lane. One side has a car port with parking for one car. (There is a village car park up the road for guests). At the other side of the property steps lead up to a patio area with access to the porch and an attached outbuilding with plenty of storage space and the water system.
Steps lead up from the patio area to a layered lawn. From here you have beautiful views of the countryside beyond you. At the top of the garden is a miniature chapel believed to have been built by the son of the blacksmith whose family lived in the cottage in the 1880’s. This is a great feature and a wonderful talking point for your guests! From the chapel a pathway leads back down to the carport side of the cottage where there is also a wood store. Back to listing
