However, please be mindful of the cottage's unique character: the door lintels are notably low, and the staircase is irregular, which may pose challenges for those with mobility issues. We installed a second staircase to supplement the original stairway. This has created a perfect party property with many possible routes through the Cottage.
Step outside into the lush garden, which is a serene oasis where you can enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings. The garden patio deck is the perfect spot for an evening glass of wine or a quiet moment of reflection. There is a 'ceramic egg' barbeque on the garden patio with dining areas for adult guests and a dining set for smaller people.

For nature lovers and history enthusiasts, the ancient Ankerwycke Yew tree is a must-see. This incredible tree is believed to be over 2,500 years old, it is recognised as one of the '50 Great Trees of Britain' and is located just a 20-minute countryside ramble from the cottage. The tree is not only a natural wonder but also a historic site, with legends suggesting it was a meeting place for the sealing of the Magna Carta: it is also alleged that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn at this site.
