Outside
Ringwell Cottage is positioned on the western outskirts of the village on a quiet lane. Off street parking is accessed from the village lane, where a pathway leads you to the front door over a pretty brook and up to the house. The rear garden has stepped access from the sun terrace outside the kitchen, leading to a further decked terrace, the perfect place to relax and enjoy the wonderful rural views. Nearby is a timber summerhouse, providing garden storage. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs and adjoins neighbouring farmland, with a large garden shed installed at the back of the garden overlooking the next door fields.

The owners have recently acquired a second parcel of land adjacent to parking area, a large section of lawned garden running alongside the brook, with a section of pretty woodland at the rear as well as views over the nearby farmland. This secondary garden offers potential, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
