DESCRIPTION
The principal cottage, Knowl Cottage is believed to be at least five hundred years old with some fine period features including an original Cruck beam whilst offering modern conveniences. Knowl Cottage is currently used as a holiday let along with the two smaller cottages, Dove and Manifold, however it could easily be used as a family residence, as it has been in the past, perhaps in conjunction with use as a guest house. The cottages have high occupancy levels and good rental rates therefore they currently offer a profitable holiday letting business.
Knowl Cottage: The accommodation is over two floors with the front door leading into an entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor. To the right of the hall is the sitting room with beamed ceiling, working fireplace with Inglenook and stone mullioned windows. To the left of the hall is the well fitted kitchen with a dining area which overlooks the street. To the first floor are three double bedrooms each with en suite bath/shower room. The third bedroom gives an insight into the past with sight of the Cruck and ceiling beams. Outside to the front of the property is a modest but very pretty and much photographed cottage garden. Knowl Cottage has been rated five stars by the English Tourist Board.
To the rear of Knowl Cottage is a courtyard offering a sitting out area and off road parking which then leads to the other two cottages which have been converted from an original barn and are ideal as two person holiday cottages. Both of these cottages, like Knowl, have beamed ceilings and benefit from central heating. There is a large garage/store with great potential to be a games room or large kitchen/dining room for all the cottages (subject to planning consent).
Dove Cottage is the right hand side of the two cottages with the front door opening into the sitting room with fireplace. To the first floor is a well fitted kitchen with dining area and a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. To the front of the cottage is a sitting out area.
Manifold Cottage is the left hand cottage with the front door leading into the kitchen/breakfast room which in turn opens into the sitting room with fireplace and large store off. At the rear of the ground floor is a fully fitted bathroom. To the first floor is a large double bedroom.
Perhaps primarily due to their location the lettings record for the cottages is enviable. For the last five years all three cottages have been booked continuously between Easter and the end of October. There has only been perhaps a couple of winter weekends in each cottage where there has not been a booking and up to one half of mid-week winter breaks have seen all three cottages booked.
