External Details

At the front of the cottage there is space for tubs, pots and planters. The property has the advantage of parking on a cobbled area and then a gravelled off-road parking area adjoining. Our clients are able to park two vehicles here, one behind the other. There is perimeter walling with the gravelled area widening to create a perfect place for a wood store or lock-box and a timber gate gives access to the garden. With many period cottages, there is usually a compromise of parking or garden, sometimes neither, but this one has the advantage of both. The mature garden area enjoys a southerly aspect, making it a real sun trap. It has well stocked beds and borders and a perimeter wall providing a more secluded backdrop along with a very pleasant seating area with some fabulous large stone flags and a raised flowerbed behind. There is a useful stone outbuilding, handy for storage, and a lower lawned garden in two sections with attractive raised beds and borders, dry stone walling and a gravelled seating area, perfect as an outdoor eating/barbecuing area. There is a low wall with lavender beds and an upper gate directly opposite the cottage itself.
