“From the outside, the cottage appears quite modest, but step inside and you find a space that opens up with surprising roominess. It manages to feel both expansive and wonderfully cosy, a delightful duality that's immediately apparent. This deceptive sense of space, coupled with its excellent position, makes for a truly inviting retreat.”
