Cottages

A successful small business Away from the main house, in a peaceful courtyard setting stand the four beautifully restored cottages, currently a thriving successful small business. These impeccably designed properties, feature eco-friendly elements and have been restored with much care and attention, using reclaimed traditional materials, including timber beams, sheep wool insulation, and 300-year-old brick floors, they offer a blend of historic character and modern luxury (including underfloor heating). This modern country retreat seamlessly combines timeless elegance with contemporary living, providing a perfect getaway from everyday life. There is huge potential to expand this business further for the incoming purchaser.

This expansion would certainly enhance the property’s appeal, attracting more visitors and increasing revenue without impacting on this already tranquil enterprise.
