The cottage occupies a sheltered, elevated, rural position with views over the lower end of the wooded Toadsmoor Valley and adjoining Golden Valley. There is ample parking. 

The cottage is separated from our house by a large lawn and both properties stand in 6 acres of steeply sloping woodlands and paddocks with level areas of mature garden. Footpaths lead directly from the gardens into the woods. We are at the top of a long, steep, private drive.

We have no close neighbours but do have a local shop, telephone, bus stop and a pub all within a few minutes walk. The woods provide almost total seclusion - it is a beautiful spot. The grounds are well fenced, plus a secure fence surrounds the cottage garden. A large kennel is also available and all clean, friendly pets with responsible owners are most welcome. Please note that we have 4 much loved cats, 3 dogs (not roaming free), a few ducks, a pair of peacocks and also a small flock of tame sheep. Light sleepers could be disturbed by authentic country noises (lambing is April to May and the mating season for pea-fowl is June!) Wild animals include badgers, foxes and deer. Our neighbours are rare breed farm animals.
