Old Estate Cottage- Sleeps 6
Built around 1850, the beautifully restored Gardeners Cottage was once home to the Head Gardener of the White Heron Estate. It is historic, stylishly decorated and well proportioned: the ideal holiday cottage for a family or couple's cosy hideaway. The property sits in its own large open gardens, next to the kitchen garden with its original eighteenth-century red brick walls and has an enclosed private courtyard to the back. Dog friendly, but NB not dog secure apart from in the little back courtyard.
Accommodation at Gardeners Cottage is well laid out with eclectic decor and furniture. An enclosed courtyard leads to the rear entrance of the cottage which leads straight into the fitted kitchen, with a utility room and large shower/wetroom and toilet. The dining room will seat up to 8 around a large vintage table. The sitting room is the other side of the front entrance and porch area and has comfortable sofas, armchairs and a delightful wood-burner.
Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms: Bedroom 1 with a kingsize bed and a vanity unit; Bedroom 2 with a kingsize bed and French style basin; Bedroom 3 with twin beds. The main family sized bathroom has a large enamel bath, basin and toilet.
