Description

A charming 2 Bedroom terraced Cottage dating originally we believe from the 1830s with a quite enchanting rear garden extending to over 200' in length leading down to the River Windrush. The stunning cottage garden offers privacy, a huge array of carefully considered plants, workshop, and a Norwegian log cabin/studio/office, with a two-tiered deck in front to relax in front of the river with views of open farmland beyond. The cottage has a largely open plan ground floor with the sitting room boasting a large fireplace feature, stove, terracotta tiles, and ceiling timbers, adjoining the rustic kitchen with bespoke hand-made units. A lean-to store beyond accesses the garden.  The first floor comprises bedrooms front & rear and bathroom.  There is a fully boarded and very useful attic space with Velux window, accessed from the bedroom.  The cottage has a front parking space with useful storage, timber-framed double glazing and electric heating.  This is a quite charming and individual character cottage with a lovingly planned garden offering peace and seclusion and an idyllic riverside position that would be difficult to match.

This area is predominantly planted with shrubs and perenials specifically chosen for scent and colour.
