A charming stone cottage in a picturesque Bride Valley village only a few miles from the sea .

Drood Cottage - is a very attractive attached double-fronted period cottage, understood to date back to the mid-1800s, having main walls of solid stone under a slate roof. It offers well appointed accommodation to a very high standard with numerous character style features including part sash style windows, window seats, fireplaces and stripped pine doors. The cottage has been subject to extensive, and very expensive, refurbishment and enlargement to an exceptional standard.

The many superb features include oil-fired central heating with combi boiler, well equipped kitchen with fired earth French tiles and comprehensive appliances (Rangemaster cooker range, Rangemaster cooker hood, integrated Neff dishwasher, Bosch washing machine and integrated Hotpoint fridge and freezer), attractive contemporary bathroom and shower rooms.
