Hampton Wafre Cottage has been converted from a 17th century stone barn. The detached cottage has its own private enclosed garden and is located half a mile up a private drive on a working arable farm.
Step inside the front door of this charming double fronted cottage, through the oak framed porch into a delightful open-plan living space featuring exposed beams, stone floors warmed underfoot; and dual aspect windows, allowing the light to flood in. The kitchen space enjoys contemporary granite tops and shaker style units, along with a dining area for four. Through into the sitting room, the wood burning stove is the focal point of the room, which can be enjoyed whilst cosying up on the leather sofas. The stairs lead up to two bedrooms with king-size beds, one of which is a four-poster. The family bathroom has a separate shower along with a stylish roll-top bath for unwinding after a day's exploration of this beautiful rural haven.
