Owners’ Comments
It's been the best of both worlds to be in the heart of the village but 10 minutes walk and you can see stunning countryside for miles in all directions. We were surprised by how active the community is; from the dog show to music & beer festivals, there's always something to do if you want to get involved.

Introduction
Having been the subject of considerable improvement and updating by the present owners, this enchanting cottage offers surprisingly substantial accommodation whilst retaining much of its original character subtly fused with tasteful modern charm including exquisite contemporary bathroom suites and a beautifully styled spacious kitchen breakfast room. Complementing the interior, the cottage enjoys a delightful, secluded rear garden, ensuring its appeal to a wide audience.
