Three superb cottages set in an ancient hamlet and surrounded by twelve acres of fields and woods

These three ancient cottages have been totally restored to a very high standard, whilst retaining the historic features that give them their charm. They are perfectly located for anybody wanting to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings.

The Old House has underfloor heating throughout. It stands in the middle of the hamlet with a lawn leading down to a stream and is surrounded by tall trees. This is an upside down house making the most of the views.
Granite steps lead up to the front door, which takes you into the open-plan first floor, with its high, beamed ceilings and large fireplace made with granite stone. There are two sofas, a three-seater and a two-seater, wide wooden floorboards and loose rugs. Above part of the living room is an open gallery, reached by a fixed stepladder through a hatch and which contains two single mattresses (suitable for able adults and older children).
At the other end of the room is a large, well fitted kitchen, dining room and utility/cloakroom. The kitchen is fitted with an electric large double oven, Siemens dishwasher, a big fridge/freezer with water and ice maker and a large square oak table and chairs. The utility/cloakroom contains a Siemens washing machine and separate drier, WC, hand basin and coat hooks.
A staircase leads you down to the 3 bedrooms (two double, one twin), bathroom and wet room. The bedroom at the garden end contains a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers as well as the original medieval fireplace, arrow slit windows and a window overlooking the front garden.
The spacious bathroom, has rolltop bath, limestone floors and underfloor heating.

Patio doors lead to the front garden with garden furniture and barbecue.

The Long House is set apart, slightly higher up the hill, in its own gardens. The house has one single, one double, and one twin bedroom. The twin bedroom is downstairs with windows looking onto the front gardens. The single bedroom, off the living room, has floor-length windows looking over the front of the house.
