This is a gorgeous rural property, situated on 12 acres of countryside, and is one of Thornden Farm's original outbuildings. It has been lovingly restored, while retaining many of its original features. The cottage is full of enchanting rustic and farmhouse style with exposed wooden beams and a wooden floor sitting effortlessly alongside all the contemporary comforts that ensure an unforgettable stay. Enter via the charming stable door and into a warm and welcoming ambience with low beams and a traditional inglenook fireplace. The decor in the open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area features rich, natural-coloured hues, creating a relaxing feel.
