This cottage has been newly built to the design of the 17th century farmhouse mixing traditional features with modern comforts. The property is situated on a working farm, with livestock such as chickens, sheep and a resident peacock, Percy. There are tearooms onsite, Carp fishing pond, Artisan Bakery and of course the ruins of the priory. The farm is nestled in a valley and surrounded by green fields and hundreds of acres of woodland. From your door, there are many circular walks and bike rides.
