Description from owner

Description

Our beautiful thatched cottage is over 300 years old, it has a wealth of character and many original features which make it such a charming place to stay

The cottage has been sympathetically maintained and updated to retain many original features.

The cottage includes a wonderful country style kitchen complete with Range Oven and an abundance of storage space. A handy down stairs cloakroom lies off the kitchen and a secret stair case leads directly from the kitchen to one of the bedrooms

Leading from the kitchen is a cosy television lounge and from here you walk through to the 'real fire' lounge which beg to be lit and a good book enjoyed in front of it.

Finally on the ground floor there is a dining room which could be used as a games room if the Great British weather decides not be kind!

Open the little wooden door (minding your head) and enter the first floor where you will find 5 good sized bedrooms, all unique and tastefully decorated.

Beautiful beams run throughout the cottage giving it a really cosy and fun feel

Venture to the second floor and you will find two attic bedrooms that the children will love to explore!

There are side and rear gardens, held within the rear garden is a children's play area including slides and a swings.

A gravel driveway and a large garage mean there is ample safe parking available

There is wireless Internet throughout the property as well as Sky television.

Washing machine, fridge freezer, Range Oven, full crockery for kitchen, all cooking utensils, dishwasher
