Sleeps 6
This is the cottage for those happy to be at the heart of the farm. Creatively transformed in 1998 from dereliction into a wonderful home, it is white, light, spacious, inviting and warm with its multi-fuel stove and oil-fired central heating.
Set back from the road with a small front garden, this detached cottage nestles right beside farm buildings and a field. The reduced rental reflects the possibility that despite thick walls and double glazing you may hear tractors, cattle or perhaps experience the odd farm whiff outside!
The property now has entrance gates (not shown in the photo). This means that it can be totally enclosed if you have small children or pets.
Layout:
Two storey with ground floor accommodation suitable for disabled wheelchair users.
Entry is through a roomy porch / utility room. To the left is an open plan living / dining room with a granite-topped island unit dividing this area from the Shaker-style, fully integrated, red alder kitchen.
To the right are a double bedroom with ensuite shower & w.c., and a small single bedroom. Opposite is a wheel-in shower-room. This bathroom with power shower, bath, W.C. and basin is ideal for a wheelchair-bound guest. The floor is non-slip.
Wide stairs lead up to a small gallery, above the kitchen and overlooking the living area. Beyond is a spacious dormer / attic with two single beds and one double. A child's paradise. W.C. and basin adjacent to this upstairs bedroom.
