About the Space

This Grade II listed cottage unfolds over several levels, offering far more space than first impressions suggest. Every room has its own personality, filled with natural light, original features, and a relaxed, lived-in feel.

The ground floor centres around a welcoming sitting room with an original fireplace, perfect for quiet evenings, reading, or gathering together after a day exploring the area. The spacious kitchen and dining area overlooks a leafy courtyard garden and is designed for shared meals, long conversations, and unrushed mornings.

Upstairs, the cottage comfortably sleeps up to eight guests, with bedrooms spread across multiple floors to give everyone a sense of privacy. The top-floor room is especially memorable, with its generous proportions and elevated views across the village green to the historic church beyond.

A family bathroom with a full-size bath adds practicality to the home’s charm, making it equally well suited to short stays and longer visits.
