Ideally located for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, it offers easy access to the scenic walks and cycling trails of Haldon Forest. Dating back to the 15th Century, the cottage’s rich history is reflected in the captivating exposed beams found throughout.
Notable features include a beautiful, light-filled conservatory that spans the full width of the cottage and benefits from underfloor heating; a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room with a fitted oil-fired Aga; and a separate dining room graced by a grand Inglenook fireplace. A luxurious sauna room provides a private retreat for relaxation. The property also enjoys superfast BT high-speed optical fibre internet - ideal for working from home.
