Owner's perspective - "We moved into Corner Cottage 13 years ago and since then have extended and fully renovated the whole property into the beautiful home it is today. We love the far-reaching views and quiet serenity of the location. All of the rooms are spacious and welcoming and the garden is a south facing private haven. We enjoy entertaining in the evening on the large patio area and we love the abundance of local walks with the lovely village pub, canal and Hetty's tea rooms within easy reach. We will be sad to leave, but we are sure someone will love it as much as we do."
