Situated next to its sister property, this charming barn conversion boasts many original features, which give it a real rural charm. The front door opens at the top of a small flight of three stairs which lead you into the open-plan living space. This delightful room has a cosy, homely feel, thanks to traditional touches such as dark wood beams. Relax on the comfortable sofas in the lounge, while the chefs of the group rustle up a tasty meal in the well-equipped kitchen area. Stairs lead up to two welcoming and characterful bedrooms, which are in keeping with the cottage’s period style. The second bedroom also has a door which opens out onto an exterior veranda. The bathroom can also be found on this level. Enjoy your morning coffee in the attractive shared garden, which also has a patio area - and if the weather’s fine, why not fire up the BBQ?
