Nestled in a hidden, secluded spot in the hills, this quaint little cottage by the brook offers a perfect retreat into nature. As you step inside, you’re greeted by the warmth of an atmospheric wood burner, with a large corner sofa facing the Smart TV, which conveniently transforms into a comfortable sofa bed. This cosy setup allows for romantic evenings, listening to the wood crackling as you watch your favourite shows. The dining table, positioned by the window, offers delightful views of the local woodland, where deer, jays, and other wildlife frequently visit, making it a haven for birdwatchers and animal lovers. The lounge leads into a charming kitchen that exudes cottage character and history, and is equipped with everything you need. From here, you can exit to the pretty tiered garden (accessed via steps). Upstairs, the king-size bedroom features a Smart TV and a view of the brook's waterfall, while a versatile space to the left of the stone staircase can serve as a dressing room or a child’s room (using the small sofabed and privacy curtain) and there’s even a hidden office area for those wishing to catch up on work. This also makes a delightful reading room with views of the garden and surrounding fields. The upper floor is completed by a modern bathroom, with a shower over the bath and a WC, ensuring both comfort and convenience in this idyllic countryside hideaway.
The garden adds a peaceful and relaxing setting to your stay in the countryside, carefully landscaped with character; you can enjoy a picnic on the lawn or sit on the outdoor furniture whilst taking in the moment and catching glimpses of the local wildlife that frequently visit. You can also enjoy a small stone patio to the front of the cottage where you can sit and meet many local ramblers, dog walkers and horse riders. Your furry friends will like it here!
