Lovely cottage. Due to the layout of the cottage, it has no rear door straight to the back garden, so have to come out of the kitchen door, which is straight out on to the quiet lane, which is a dead end, but does have some traffic, ( residential cars, and delivery vans )and up the steps at the side of the cottage. Not ideal for small children to cRead moreome and go as they like, or for allowing the dog to wonder in and out at leisure. Lovely welcome cream tea, and fresh bread. Cosy with the log fire Hide
