attached stone-built cottage beside a babbling brook (unfenced) which forms one boundary, a peaceful and picturesque location shared with passing ducks and the occasional kingfisher.
A large well-planted garden on several levels surrounds it, with waterside terrace (table/chairs), a lovely walled seating area (picnic bench, barbecue) and, on one of the raised lawns (steps up, care needed), a little summer house (chairs): lots of spots for all-day sun.

Steps up from parking area to gate and further path/steps down to front door.
Flagstone-floored kitchen (slimline dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker, pantry), through to cosy living/dining room with woodburner, TV/DVD and window seat.
Upstairs, looking over the brook, two bedrooms - a double, and a neat twin; shared clothes-hanging space in small dressing/cot room; bathroom (suite with separate shower).
