East Cottage

Accommodation

On the east side of the main courtyard, East Cottage has a spacious open plan and south facing lounge / kitchen / diner overlooking the rural surroundings. The two ensuite double/twin bedrooms are located along a short corridor through the original barn doors.  They are separated by the two back-to-back ensuite bathrooms. The single storey, semi-detached, building has high vaulted ceilings with original exposed trusses and beams.  There is underfloor heating throughout, served by a ground source heat pump. The barn and former milking parlour were tastefully converted by the owners in 2025, combining traditional features with 21st century comforts.

Outdoors

Dedicated private parking for at least two cars is located on the east side of the buildings.  From here a paved and lit route leads to the oak framed porch and front door, and onwards to the south facing patio.  This elevated patio has frameless glazing to maximise the countryside views, and privacy screening creating a secluded and sheltered space with private hot tub, outdoor furniture, BBQ and access back into the cottage via large folding sliding doors. There are far reaching views over the owners orchard to fields dotted with sheep and woods teeming with widelife.  The west side of East Cottage overlooks the owners main courtyard.  Both the back door and an external door in Bedroom One open onto a private corner of the main courtyard which is fenced/screened for privacy and includes outdoor furniture.  Access to the indoor heated swimming pool is via the back door and inner courtyard, no more than ten yards away from the cottage.  With the exception of the inner courtyard, there is step-free access throughout externally and internally. There is also unrestricted access to the owners gardens and orchard however parents are advised that the grounds include steep rockeries, stream, pond, remains of a waterwheel and bee hive.

The heated pool includes resistance jets for swimming exercise, a jacuzzi and a small changing room complete with toilet.  The pool is generally available between 9am to 6pm every day, and other times by agreement.  Please note that West Cottage also has access to the swimming pool. To maintain private use for each of our two cottages we operate a very simple booking system where guests can book their preferred time slots up to 24 hours in advance.  Our experience to date suggests that there will be ample time to accommodate guests from both cottages without any issues.  Please note that the pool room is covered by CCTV for health, safety and insurance purposes.  Please feel free to contact us for further information.

There is a 22kW fast EV charger located within the main courtyard near West Cottage which is available on a pay-as-you-go basis.
