Loved the style that it had. Views at the back Great 👍 Neighbours friendly but could hear them talking in the evening. Plus there TV which I felt was missing in the cottage for me.Enjoyed the local pub. Shops a long walk at to drive to most places. But did go into central London for the day on the local trains that was a good experience.Rather than 2 chairs felt 2 sofas would be better and a few side tables for drinks. Never found the BBQ. And a small hot tub would add the fun 😊❤️
