A cosy breakfast room with a multi-fuel burner set in an inglenook fireplace completes the ground floor.

Climbing roses and a Rembrandt vine adorn the attractive south-facing façade, adding to the cottage’s picturesque charm. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by herbaceous borders, which burst with wildflowers and spring bulbs, offering year-round colour and interest.
