General Remarks

Comment by Mark Johnson frics. Chartered Valuer and Estate Agent @ Baker Wynne and Wilson

The extended Oak Cottage comprises a series of beautifully beamed and restored interconnecting rooms with several stunning vantage points focusing through many windows to capture the wonderful rural surroundings that adjoin. The welcoming southwest facing kitchen/garden room is perfectly positioned to capture, the excellent qualities of natural light that pass through the extensive glazing that in turn brings good solar gain to add to a more modern, less cottage-like feel of the property. The doors open directly off the side terrace with the exterior making for a wonderful place for coffees, long alfresco summer lunches, and evening sundowners. An impressive oak tree canopy provides shelter from sun and rain.
