... in Whitford, 300 yards from Whitford Bridge and the river Axe, an attractive cottage, Grade II listed, part 16th cent., created from one side of the friendly owners’ home. At the back, 5 steps up to own south-facing courtyard-style garden (tables/chairs, benches) and shed (lockable, tumble drier) for your bicycles/beach gear (outdoor boat parking, by arrangement). Behind this, a mown path winds up beside the owners’ garden (children beware - unfenced pond, greenhouse) through a wildflower meadow to a level area (table/chairs) - the tranquillity and panoramic views make it worth the climb.

Inside, prettily furnished with original charm (beams from 5’9”, knobbly walls/floors, narrowish stairs). Neat kitchen/dining room (slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, electric double-oven) through to sunny conservatory (sofa, chairs, door to garden), both with garden outlook; snug living room (TV/DVD) with big inglenook (woodburner). Shower-room (suite). Upstairs (stairgate), a good-sized double bedroom (5’ bed) with single day bed (for alternative sleeping), accessed through a neat shower-room (suite), and a twin. A delightful cottage in peaceful surroundings, a good spot for walking, cycling and coast.
