The cottage lies within a hamlet of just four properties, accessed via a quiet country lane that turns into a track shortly after passing out house. This means that there is no though traffic and no road noise. The property stands in over one acre of mature fenced garden, with garden to the front, side and rear. There is a small orchard with cherry, plum, apple, walnut and sweet chestnut trees. If holidaying in the autumn, you are welcome to help yourselves to any fruit and nuts. There is parking for two cars on a drive at the front. The rear of the cottage affords pleasant views over the garden and the countryside beyond. A gravel terrace at the rear provides an area for al-fresco lunches and barbecues. A mown path through the grass to the left of the garden leads to another informal seating area with West facing views over fields and rolling countryside - ideal for sunsets.
