A characterful cottage that blends traditional charm with contemporary comfort

Step into The Cowshed, Middle Marwood, a charming single-storey cottage where rustic character meets modern comfort. Enjoy creating culinary delights in the elegant kitchen, where you'll find a stunning Range cooker with electric oven and gas hob, alongside an American-style fridge / freezer and dishwasher. Relax in the welcoming lounge, where traditional exposed beams and oak flooring create a warm atmosphere, and unwind in front of the wood burner while enjoying entertainment on the Smart TV and hi-fi system.

Venture outside to explore the large garden where you can admire sweeping countryside views and relax on the furnished patio area, perfect for enjoying al fresco dining with the BBQ. Retire to one of two beautifully appointed bedrooms: sink into the king-size bed and enjoy your own TV / DVD before refreshing in the luxury en-suite bathroom with shower over bath, or choose the versatile zip-and-link twin that transforms into a king-size bed, where you can also enjoy TV/DVD entertainment and refresh in your private en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms invite you to experience the cottage's characteristic charm while enjoying modern comforts.

Imagine waking up to birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves, brewing your morning coffee on the Range cooker while planning the day's adventures. As evening falls, gather around the crackling wood burner, sharing stories of beach explorations and coastal discoveries while the underfloor heating keeps you cosy from below.
