The Property
In a corner of the original walled kitchen garden of magnificent Cadhay (G100, tours on Fridays), 50 yards away, are the former Stables and Coach House. They have been beautifully converted with flair into two good cottages, each with its own small patio and grassy area (table/chairs) overlooking the walled garden. Inside the walled garden are beautifully kept allotments, fruit trees and a fascinating greenhouse, tended by the resident gardener, one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable you can meet. Over Whitsun Bank Holiday week in May, a church fête and other charity events and the Nat. Garden Scheme are held at Cadhay and the walled garden is open over August Bank Holiday, when a section of the garden is roped off for your privacy. The original farm buildings are close by. Spring water. Professional catering available. Good walking from the front door. Exceptional for garden and country lovers. The Stables have been converted just as carefully and well as The Coach House, perhaps slightly smaller, but equally comfortable and to the same high standard, with Persian rugs, antiques, paintings. Entrance hall to big, bright open-plan living/dining room (woodburner - logs included) with large French windows looking to Cadhay. Smart kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, freezer, fridge, electric cooker) with door to your garden/patio overlooking the allotments. Comfortable sitting room/study with sofas, TV/DVD, desk, and downstairs lobby/loo (washer-drier). Upstairs (stairgate), three bedrooms - a double (6' bed or twin) and a twin, sharing a bathroom (suite with separate power-shower), and another double (6' zip-linked bed or twin) with en suite bathroom (suite with separate shower).
