Owner's perspective - "We fell in love with the charm of the cottage as soon as we saw it. Although it was semi-derelict and had not been lived in for several years, we could see its potential to become a beautiful, character-filled home, complete with a large garden.
Since completing the renovations, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the cottage’s fantastic location. It’s within walking distance of convenient amenities such as the post office, a fish and chip shop, a convenience store, and two great pubs.
