Overlooking rolling rural pastures, the lovely rear garden has stone flagged patio areas connected by stepping stones with a well stocked planting bed just coming to life. There is a timber shed and the oil storage tank is concealed within a timber and stone structure. You'll notice a side gate which gives access across the garden of Number 1 cottage to a rather useful small stone outbuilding, suitable for storing bicycles or logs.

For the right buyer this will be rural bliss!
