Outside - The property is approached by a long, half a mile drive from the main road leading down in to the valley to the property.

To the right hand side is a black metal gate, enclosing a section of the garden. To the rear is a large garden filled with established tress, shrubs and plants.

Agents Note - It should be noted that the drive leading down to the property is quite steep and it is recommended that any potential tenants have snow tyres on their cars during the winter months.

There is a public footpath and bridleway at the top end of the drive that goes through to the neighbouring fields, with the footpath leading down the drive and across. The paths do not cross directly in front of the house.

The cottage next door is scheduled to have roof repair works completed in the coming months and therefore noise associated with this work is to be expected.
