Swallow Cottage was converted from an old hay barn in 1995 and the original hay loft has been turned into a large Games and TV Room (40ft x 20ft), which is ideal for young and old alike! The resident owner lives nearby and personally services and maintains the property to a high standard. There are 14 acres to explore and walks from the door. In 2007 the Secret Garden was added. This half acre garden has a large pond, picnic area, wooden chalet and deck and is reached by a farm path. An ideal retreat to watch the sunset, sketch, paint or simply read. This rural retreat is in a most tranquil location, surrounded by wild flower meadows and enjoys panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. June 2005 in the wildflower meadows
