The semi-detached cottages were converted from a game-keeper's bothy approximately 15 years ago. The present owners have made couninued improvements since that time and the cottages and gardens are regularly maintained to a high standard.

The short driveway leads from the quiet rural road alongside our informal garden and to a courtyard at the rear of the cottages, which provides ample safe parking. Beyond the courtyard is our small woodland which you are welcome to explore.

The entrance door from the rear of the cottage opens into the hallway which leads to living room with sofa, portable colour TV/VCR, radio/cassette/CD player and dining table. The galley kitchen is fully equipped with crockery, utensils etc. and has a full sized electric cooker, fridge with ice box, microwave, kettle & toaster. The shower room and toilet are accessed from the hallway.
The cottages are double glazed and insulated to a high standard with central heating for convenience and comfort included at no extra charge.

Upstairs the twin bedroom with its sloping ceilings provide a comfortable place to dream the night away. It has pine bedside cabinets, chest of drawers, and hanging rail, hairdryer and clock radio. Roof windows look out to the woodland - and the stars!.

To the front of the cottage is walled area (accessed from rear door) with garden furniture and portable BBQ and beyond that the owner's garden which you are welcome to enjoy.

At the rear of the cottage is a useful storage shed for bicycles and sporting equipment. Walkers welcome! Cyclists Welcome!.
