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.

We had a magical, cozy Christmas at Hampton Wafre with our two dogs. The cottage was very comfortable and the underfloor heating was amazing, we hardly lit the log fire as we were all asleep within seconds of sitting down! We arrived to Christmas lights, mistletoe, a lovely hamper and treats for the dogs, which after a long drive, was very welcome. Adam and Jane were warm and welcoming and we were able to walk the dogs in the fields straight from the cottage which was fabulous. The location is perfect, very very quiet and beautiful, completely private but not isolated. We would live to stay again. Thank you.
