A charming cottage set amidst hills and meadows yet only
a minute’s walk away from the village shop and pub.
Welcome
The cottage is a converted bakehouse which was used to make bread for the village well into the 20th century. It sits next to The Mill House in a peaceful garden setting and overlooks the mill building. The flagstone entrance hall has room for boots and coats. Off the hallway are the kitchen and bathroom which are built on the site of the original bread ovens. The kitchen, which overlooks a private patio, is equipped with a halogen ceramic hob, electric oven, Belfast sink, microwave and fridge/freezer. The bathroom has WC, wash basin, shower and washing machine.
The large beamed living room overlooks the lovely old fashioned garden of lawns and herbaceous borders of the Mill House.A big old pine dining table, two comfortable settees in front of the log burning stove, lots of books, and a TV/DVD player make an attractive alternative to going out in the rain. Off the sitting room and overlooking the kitchen garden and old orchard is a large, bright sunroom with more comfortable seating and another dining table. French doors from the sunroom lead onto a secluded sunny patio for breakfast or a coffee with the papers from the village shop.
Upstairs is the spacious oak beamed double aspect bedroom. There is an ensuite WC with an airing cupboard, plenty of storage, and ironing facilities.
A Perfect Setting
Alongside the ancient 18ft mill wheel is a lovely private garden for you to enjoy. A sloping lawn leads to a paved area enclosed by a high stone wall and the waterwheel. It has a table, benches and a chiminea barbecue. The view is towards the river, fields and the Black Mountains in the distance. You can also enjoy our wild flower meadows for picnics by the river, spotting a kingfisher or fishing for wild brown trout - a fishing licence can be bought from Longtown Post Office.
