Linen Cottage — New

Living

Embracing the beauty of the cottage's original features is the antique art-adorned cosy living room, featuring beautiful lime plaster, slate flagstones, and rustic wooden beams. Taking centre stage is the fireplace with a wood burning stove, perfect for fireside soirées with your kin, gathered together on the plump, handmade sofa and armchairs. For staycation entertainment, there is the addition of a Smart TV for cosy nights in with a film.

Please note that due to the charming nature of Linen Cottage, you will find low ceilings and characterful beams in some parts of the cottage, along with steep original staircases.

Kitchen and Dining

A symphony of textured wood and Mustard Yellow by Little Greene, the traditional farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room is a delightful space for those with cottagecore living dreams. An antique pine table for four sets the scene for romantic feasts at any hour, whilst bespoke shaker cabinetry hosts all you could require for culinary creation, including an induction hob and oven, a Nespresso machine and a retro microwave. You'll also find a dishwasher, under-counter fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer.

Sleeping and bathing

Take the wooden staircase to find two stunning bedrooms, each with an en suite.

Promising cosy carpet and butter-yellow accents, the first bedroom is complete with a king-size bed, an occasional chair, and wall hooks and hangers - an ethereal setting for slumber. Adjacent is the en suite shower room, featuring mustard wood panelling and a walk-in rainfall shower, embellished with Calacatta marble metro tiles.

To the front of the cottage, uncover the master bedroom of dreams, a bewitching space with mahogany, moody olive greens and burnt orange hues. A super-king zip and link bed awaits, alongside an occasional armchair for those seeking a spot to retreat with a novel. For storing your belongings, you'll find open shelving, a suitcase rack and wall hooks. There is a WC and sink next door.

Climb the final staircase to the eaves of the cottage, where you'll find an olive-green, freestanding rolltop bathtub for bubble-topped soaks - a spellbinding sanctuary for self-care moments.
