A charming 2 Bedroom terraced Cottage dating originally we believe from the 1830s with a quite enchanting rear garden extending to over 200' in length leading down to the River Windrush. The stunning cottage garden offers privacy, a huge array of carefully considered plants, workshop, and a Norwegian log cabin/studio/office, with a two-tiered deck in front to relax in front of the river with views of open farmland beyond. The cottage has a largely open plan ground floor with the sitting room boasting a large fireplace feature, stove, terracotta tiles, and ceiling timbers, adjoining the rustic kitchen with bespoke hand-made units. A lean-to store beyond accesses the garden.  The first floor comprises bedrooms front & rear and bathroom.  There is a fully boarded and very useful attic space with Velux window, accessed from the bedroom.  The cottage has a front parking space with useful storage, timber-framed double glazing and electric heating.  This is a quite charming and individual character cottage with a lovingly planned garden offering peace and seclusion and an idyllic riverside position that would be difficult to match.

Rear Garden

The long informal garden comprises distinct separate spaces each offering a significant degree of privacy, seating, and a vast array of plants providing all year interest. A few steps from the lean-to is the first garden which is enclosed by a wood store and a mix of deciduous and evergreen hedging. Along the wood store there are water harvesting barrels, a cupboard, and a discreet garden bin store which also serves as a way through to the alley leading to the main road, a right of access for the cottages in the terrace. This area is predominantly planted with shrubs and perenials specifically chosen for scent and colour. Passing through a yew hedge arch one enters the autumn garden with an arbour catching the morning sun and overlooking shrubs and trees which provide an assortment of berries. A large useful shed, also serving as a workshop and wood store, creates shade at the beginning of another garden and is planted accordingly. This space leads to a sunny gravel seating area which has an abundance of plants for pollinators. Behind the sun spot is a Norwegian log cabin, an ideal home work space, which is roofed with grass and drought tolerant plants. In front of the cabin is a two tiered deck with more seating where one can relax in front of the river Windrush with views across the river over farmland frequented by sheep and lambs.
