The property has been carefully converted from the former blacksmith’s shop, and boasts traditional features such as rugged beams, areas of low ceiling, and exposed stone, combined with an array of modern amenities. After you’ve admired the beauty of the cottage’s exterior, with its stonework and red-tiled roof, head inside and stroll from the hall through to the kitchen/diner. Here you’ll find all the equipment you’ll need for preparing holiday feasts, including a microwave and fridge/freezer, with a coffee pod machine for morning wake-ups. There’s a washing machine in here, too, and a dining table that seats four comfortably. The room flows through to the delightful lounge (up one step), a tranquil space with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV. For a breath of fresh air, throw open the double doors which lead to the garden and enjoy a blissful evening of relaxation. When you’re ready for bed, the unique spiral staircase takes you to the first floor, where there are two charming bedrooms, with beautiful linens and art works, which can be set up as either super-king-size or twins. The main bedroom has the luxuries of a Juliet balcony and an en-suite shower room, and there’s a separate shower room for the occupants of the second bedroom.
The spacious garden is another superb benefit for your special getaway, bound to be a hit with anyone who loves outdoor cooking or dining. The outdoor kitchen includes both a BBQ and a pizza oven, with a dining area on the patio where everyone can socialise, and there’s also a lawned area where children can play or dogs can be walked on a lead.
