Quirkily decorated characterful property ideal for a great get away from the hussle and bustle of urbal life. The property is frequently bathed in wonderful light and the garden catches the sun for most of the day making it a great place to kickback and chill, listen and watch the bird life and admire the hill views. Set in an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty a conservation area and a UNESCO geopark. The large coach doors are impressive and everyone comments on how inviting it makes the place opening the living area out into the garden with the trees and views beyond and the views out across the valley. The cottage is warm and cosy with exposed stonewalls, beams, a real fire and importantly, comfortable sofas and beds.
