New Cottage lies in the heart of the village, away from the road, with a gravelled drive leading up to the enclosed front garden. Standing semi-detached, it has a patio with a seating area, where you can take in the sunshine. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by the quintessential country interior, complete with a wood burner and beamed ceiling. The original stone building has a long history, which can be traced back hundreds of years, with extensions which have been added to make the property more spacious and comfortable. The property layout is on many different levels, which adds to its character. The open plan living room is welcoming and has a delightful rural view; from the comfortable sofas you can watch either the TV or the curling flames of the wood burner. A dining table next to the window allows you watch the grazing sheep whilst you enjoy your meal too! The well-equipped, country kitchen is on a raised level just off the living area, and has a breakfast bar making this a sociable space. Steps lead from the living area to a hallway, with a door off to a shower room. Up a few stairs and along a landing is the first bedroom, with a small double bed. A second separate staircase leads from the living room to the galleried master bedroom with a Velux window, so you can look up into the stars. A perfect choice for couples, with the option of an additional guest. A finishing touch is your own secret garden to discover, accessed by a little side path, with views over the countryside.
