Directly opposite the house, a detached garden enclosed by a traditional dry stone wall creates a private oasis, with a low-maintenance gravelled area and vibrant foliage offering a tranquil spot to unwind and take in the picturesque rural views. Adjacent to the kitchen, a fully enclosed block-paved courtyard serves as the perfect setting for alfresco dining or summer entertaining, with the rolling hills providing a stunning backdrop. The property also benefits from dedicated off-road parking on a hardstanding area just opposite the cottage, as well as outside storage for added practicality.
