Brimming with olde-worlde charm, this thatched cottage offers a delightful base for enjoying scenic walks, seaside fun and days out in vibrant towns. With a wood burner for cosy evenings and a pretty garden where you can dine or play in the sunshine, it’s the perfect escape for couples, friends or families.
This irresistible cottage is full of warmth and character, blending period features (including some internal steps), antique furnishings and modern comforts. The open-plan snug/kitchen/diner is the heart of the home, where you can prepare tasty meals on the Aga or electric oven and hob, dining at the farmhouse-style table. Take out a board game, snuggle on the sofa with a good book, or head to the separate lounge where there’s a Smart TV and a DVD player. In cooler weather you can light the wood burner for that extra-special warmth. If you need to catch up on admin there’s a small workspace in the hall, while a utility area with laundry facilities adds practicality. The bathroom is on the ground floor, with a separate WC on the first floor, handily located for the three delightful bedrooms. An impressive garden adds to the many attractions of this fabulous property. Set up feasts on the patio, play games on the lawn, or head out of the back gate to take children to the village’s play area. You’ll also have a shed in which to store outdoor gear. Parking is on-street, subject to availability.
