8/10 Good
"A lovely cottage with a beautiful garden. The cottage has everything you need but could do with a thorough clean and a bit of a face lift and it would be perfect.It is not a property I would recommend for people with mobility problems as there are a few steps around the cottage and the stairs aren’t great. The cottage is in a fantastic location, in town with its own parking space."
