Extra Amenities

This historic, spacious, terraced, 500-year-old former church house sits peacefully beside the village green and war memorial, overlooking the 12th-century Norman church of St Andrews. The house has been lovingly restored and retains many original features. The large living and dining areas, with its 16th-century ceiling beams, are great for a family gathering, or a cosy night in beside the wood burner. There is a part-covered, shady, internal courtyard room with a flagstone floor, fountain, window seat and small outdoor table and chairs, the ideal spot to escape the heat of the day or sit quietly with a coffee to read the newspapers. The three first floor bedrooms have space for hanging clothes/storage, whilst the second floor bedroom runs the length of the cottage and has huge, original 16th-century A-frame roof beams and three, heritage Velux-style windows. Removable blackout blinds are available for guests who desire them.
