It is sited well back and down-slope from the road, with the land sloping gently downwards behind to a pretty, meandering stream that runs along the property’s north- western boundary and is home to wild brown trout. The property is peacefully located with a lovely outlook over it’s own grounds towards the surrounding countryside and has only one near neighbour. The cottage was in a parlous state of repair by 2005, when it was sympathetically renovated to a high standard with particular care being taken to retain original architectural 4/3 3 3/4 features such as the oak beams and wide elm floorboards upstairs, which are thought to have been reclaimed from former naval ships of the line, other original joinery and the inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. Where necessary other features c. 5.9 6 Acres have been sympathetically replaced to retain the cottage’s original character. On the ground floor are two reception rooms and a dining room.
