Dating back to the 1600s, this delightful thatched cob cottage has been lovingly renovated and refurbished to provide character-filled accommodation. The detached Grade II listed property has tastefully blended its original period charm with modern amenities. Grapevine Cottage commands views encompassing the surrounding countryside and the Pullback Hills beyond, and has pretty grounds of 3 acres - which comprises landscaped and lawned areas, and an adjoining paddock. There is also a large south-facing decked area with a six-seater heated outdoor spa bath, as well as its own all-weather tennis court. There are excellent road and rail connections from the cottage, making this an ideal base for exploring the region.
