Description
Lane End Cottage is a charming old house which although perfectly habitable does lend itself to some reconfiguration and updating.

Immediately to the front of the house is a stone terrace with views over the
countryside

It has an attractive front garden with cobbled stone path, a lawned area to
the front and a secluded lawned area to the side. Immediately behind the
cottage is an old orchard with a dilapidated timber field store.

Adjoining the cottage is a stone barn with hayloft above and further stable
and tack room.
