About the host
Hosted by Gill at Chelsea Cottage
Hello there
My name's Gill and am a proud owner of this beautiful property in a most wonderful location.
My ex and I built the property ourselves thirty years ago (even knapped all the flint!) so everything has been finished to the highest quality combining old warm charm with creature comforts. We accidentally stumbled on the village and declared it was where we wanted to live - it is a stunning village and very much part of traditional England without mass tourism, a place to get away from it all.
With the children leaving home but not wanting to give the house up, chose to rent it out and have gone back to the town but love coming back out here to "recharge the batteries".

Why they chose this property
The property is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Featuring solar panels it is also eco-friendly. Having four living areas and five bedrooms there is plenty of space to be with your family/friends or to escape on your own for some me time. Beds have been chosen to be comfortable especially for back sufferers!
Living space outside is pretty special too with comfortable rattan furniture under a new gazebo complete with bar, lit up with fairy lights. Stunning views all around
