Description
The Shippen is a stunning, historic cottage for 4 surrounded by farmland, fields and apple orchards in a location labelled as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The glass doors from the sitting room create a wonderful indoor/ outdoor area with views onto the rolling fields. The cottage's modernization and styling beautifully combines old with new. Well suited to families or small groups.
The cottage consists of a bright & airy sitting/dining room with a free standing wood burning stove to keep you cosy whilst watching TV/DVD or listening to music, along with large glass doors opening onto the terrace which has lovely views of the surrounding area.
