Seller Insight Built in the mid 1800s, this beautiful stone cottage is such a lovely place to live,” says the owner, “possessing such a sense of charm and character from the quarry tiled stone floor in the dining room to wood burning stoves in the dining room and lounge. New bespoke hardwood double glazed windows and matching windowsills enhance the traditional aesthetic of the cottage whilst lending a sense of visual coherence and luxury.” The cottage itself sits within a picturesque English country garden. “The cottage is nestled in the corner of a generous plot,” says the owner. “If you go out of the back door and turn right, the space opens out into an expanse of garden, much larger than one would expect from the front of the cottage. The garden gets the sun all day, so is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet amongst the flowerbeds and trees. Hedges and drystone walls to the boundaries provide shelter and seclusion, enhancing the feeling of calm this personal Eden provides.” The location of the property has much to recommend it, being set within the friendly village of Eydon. “While there is plenty going on in the village,” says the owner, “with a good social scene and various clubs and societies, you can enjoy the sense of community whilst retaining a level of privacy and tranquillity. Being close to the village pub, we are right in the centre of the village, but it still feels like being in the middle of nowhere!”*

“I will miss the beautifully secluded garden, it not being at all overlooked and possessing plenty of potential for landscaping however one might wish. I love my vegetable plot, but this space could equally be used for building a home office or summerhouse.�
