"We love living here and it is a place I know I wouldn't want to leave. Thus we were delighted when Rosemary Cottage came onto the market: the location is prime, being right in the heart of the village. The village hall is next door so we feel part of community life, yet we have never heard any noise or nuisance since living here. This is such a lovely area - both peaceful and friendly - with a great pub over the road and not a lot of through traffic."Since moving into this 1930s thatched cottage, the owners have made various improvements, bringing the home up to date whilst remaining in keeping with the original character of the property. "We have done quite a lot of modernising," they say, "with new doors, windows, flooring, patio, and more. So, we now have a home with all the comforts of contemporary living, encased in a quintessentially English country cottage exterior. Our favourite room has always been the day room, with its vaulted ceiling and relaxed feel, looking out over the beautifully enclosed garden. Outside, the generous garden is a proper sun trap at all times of the day and surprising large for a central village property. We have ample space both indoors and out for everyday life and entertaining alike."
