The Sitting Room and Kitchen
|
|
The original cottage was built in the early 1800 hundreds, and has been carefully extended over the years. It is situated in lovely countryside with wonderful views to the surrounding hills. The cottage has two sumptuous light, airy and cosy bedrooms which are both en-suite. A large and comfortable sitting room with a large stone and slate open fireplace and adjoining kitchen, are in the oldest part of the house, with a super sun drenched conservatory forming the dining room. The garden is safe and enclosed for children and pets. The gardens are mature with a lovely lawn and borders. Clean gravel paths lead you to the terrace with BBQ and a few steps take you up to the 'Lookout'. Off road parking at one end of the house with easy access to the entrance. Beautiful surrounding countryside, fabulous beaches close by, good shopping, pubs and restaurants. An ideal retreat for relaxing but with plenty of things to do and enjoy. Boule and croquet are at the cottage.

Outside
The gardens are mature and nicely enclosed providing a super private relaxing space, when the sun is out it is glorious all day from the sunrise over the hills to the sunset at the rear of the cottage. The lawn provides plenty of room for games, and sun loungers. The terrace with bar-b-cue is excellent for Al fresco dining and remains in the sun all day, a flag pole and lookout are reached by a few steps with great views out to the adjacent fields. A Boule and junior Crocquet set are provided in the conservatory, and although the lawns don't provide space for the real game you can still have tons of fun here. A small herb garden by the front door can be enjoyed by all the chefs!
