Owners’ Comments
\"We loved the cottage from the minute we saw it.  The location is set back from the lane making it a very special place to live - having both red and green woodpeckers visit the gardens is something we certainly didn't expect!”

“We've enjoyed putting the time and effort in to modernising our home, making it more spacious while keeping the cottage feel and the Michelmersh brick. It's in a very convenient location and is a great place to spend quiet time or bring up a family.\"
