This created a large dining and bar area which is perfect for when we are entertaining, particularly at Christmas when we light the fire and it becomes the hub of the house.” “Priory Cottage is set on an ancient walking route and there are plenty of rural walks to be enjoyed, either along the riverside or in the woodland. The Bluebell Forest is just along the road and Sunday’s are made for a long, morning walk with a break for lunch in the pub on the way back.” “We have dedicated a large area of the land as a natural haven for wildlife and have planted lots of wildflowers. The sheep keep the grass down in the summer and the lavender attracts bumblebees. When the trees and garden are in full bloom, they provide a natural cover and we can’t see anyone else, it’s very peaceful. The outside space includes a tennis court, huge chess set and gazebo but perhaps our favourite spot would be the hot tub set up on the hill. We like to relax here with a gin and tonic in the evening and enjoy the great view down into the valley.” “There is a strong sense of community, particularly focussed around the village hall which hosts regular activities. The village Facebook page is a hive of information, including updates on wandering horses or when a gate has been left open and the sheep are on the road!” “We converted the space above the garage into a yoga room. It has a beautiful view onto the back garden and we can watch the birds and hear the birdsong when we’re doing yoga, it’s very relaxing.” We are moving to be closer to our business and we will miss the sense of peace and tranquility provided by Priory Cottage, as well as the rural setting and the wildlife, including our resident owls and woodpeckers.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
