Tucked away on a tranquil circa 1-acre site, this unique property offers a rare blend of rustic charm, natural beauty, & sustainable living.

Surrounding the cottage is a thriving organic garden, perfect for those eager to learn or practice sustainable living. A polytunnel is in place for year-round vegetable and fruit growing, while the biodiverse garden and wild spaces attract bees, butterflies, and a wide array of native birds.
