The Cottage
The cottage contains two attractive bedrooms, one twin and one double. Each bedroom has its own modern en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath.
There is a small sitting room with dining area that has outstanding views of the pond and rolling hills and a tiny but well equipped kitchenette and fully equipped utility room.
The Location
Converted stables in the most magnificent setting. The cottage is a few feet from a large fenced pond that is the head of the Twford Brook.
Our 25 acres of land surround the cottage and our fields are grazed by sheep. You can occasionally see foxes, badgers, deer, buzzards, hobbies, woodpeckers, rabbits and wild flowers in the spring. National Trust land backs on to us with many footpaths. The cottage has a small garden area, but you have freedom to roam across our fields and wood.
