DESCRIPTION
Wayside Cottage is a cosy country cottage on the banks of the River Trent in the historic village of Swarkestone in South Derbyshire. Swarkestone is famous as the turning point of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 and also as the location for a photoshoot for the cover of the Rolling Stones album Beggar's Banquet.
The cottage dates back to the 18th Century, there are 2 bedrooms, the main double on the first floor and a loft bedroom. Both have delightful views over the River Trent and the ancient Grade 1 listed Swarkestone causeway. The comfortable lounge leads on to the fully fitted kitchen and small dining area. The large bathroom with electric shower is on the first floor. Outside there is a small courtyard garden to the front of the cottage - perfect for watching the sun go down over the river with a glass of wine. Parking is available for one car immediately in front of the cottage and further parking can be found just a step away on the river bank or next to the beautiful and historic St James' church.
The cottage is centrally heated and there is a log burner effect electric fire in the lounge. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dual fuel range cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine.
