About this cottage rental
The cottage offers a spacious and comfortable layout across two floors, with traditional features and modern facilities throughout. On the ground floor, flooring is flagstone or insulated limecrete with rugs, while upstairs rooms are fully carpeted. There are three woodburners in total, providing additional warmth and atmosphere. At the front of the cottage, overlooking the lane and woodland, is the kitchen/dining room. This includes a woodburner set in an inglenook fireplace, an electric Aga and a dining table seating up to five guests. Also at the front is the cosy sitting room, accessed from the hallway. It is furnished with a woodburner, sofas, and an armchair. To the rear of the cottage is a dining room with views over the fields and towards the sunset. This room has French windows allowing plenty of natural light, direct access to the downstairs bathroom, and a door into a porch area. The downstairs bathroom is accessed via Jack-and-Jill doors from both the hallway and the downstairs day room. It includes a bath, washbasin, and WC. There is a handy porch that contains a washer/dryer and freezer and provides access to the back garden and parking area. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with a bathroom between them. The bathroom includes a bath with mixer shower, washbasin, and heated towel rail, and there is a WC with hand basin. The master bedroom is accessed through this bathroom area.
Outside to the front of the cottage is an enclosed garden bordered by hedging, a picket fence, and a gate, facing a quiet country lane. To the rear, the garden continues past a small wooden barn and into the orchard which provides plenty of space for children to run around or for guests to sit quietly and relax. This area leads to the Bait Room, originally used in past times where labourer's would gather for their tea breaks, which contains a table and benches, with additional outdoor seating nearby. From early May to the end of September, and for a small additional charge, this space can be used as a play area for children. There is also a flushing toilet located at one end of the Bait Room. In a separate enclosed paddock is a wooden garden hut which can be booked, for an additional charge, and used as a sitting room or can also have a camp bed added for those wishing to enjoy some quiet and personal space. A shallow stream runs in front of the cottage, outside the garden fence. While it can be enjoyable for paddling, please note that there is no barrier between the stream and the lane, so care should be taken with young children. A driveway up to the cottage provides an area for parking.
