Outdoor Description
Trinity Cottage enjoys an elevated position above the village; the views across the valley and the village, with the local cricket field below are a typical country scene to enjoy. The private drive is quite narrow and opens up into the gravel parking area and large garage to the side of the cottage. The lawn garden at the front is accessed via a few steps up from the drive, here you will find a small table and chairs, a lovely quiet spot for relaxing with a good book. To the rear of the cottage is the patio and gravel garden area with further outside furniture, ideal for dining alfresco when the weather permits. The garden is enclosed by a hedge and fenced around the perimeter but we cannot guarantee that it is entirely dog-proof. A gate can be closed across the access drive also.
A five-bar gate from the parking area leads to a stable block, one of which can be used to store bicycles or other outdoor equipment if you wish to store these items in a secure place (bring a padlock to lock the door if you wish to). The central 2 stables have been converted into a weatherproof, heated games room which currently houses a pub pool table, dartboard and table football as well as a small bar area and sofa.
Behind the stables is a 3-acre field that belongs to the property which is available for guests to use; it has the best views across the valley and down into the village. The field is fenced but we cannot guarantee it is entirely enclosed. Please note that there are sometimes sheep grazing in one half of the paddock so please keep dogs under control.
Parking
Private parking is available on the gravel drive area beside the cottage and in the garage for up to 4 cars. Please note that the first part of the drive is narrow but we can assure guests it is wide enough for a transit van or similar.
There are 2 public electric vehicle charging points at the Village Hall which is 100 metres from the property. The charging points are type 2, 22kW (use ProjectEV App) and you will need your own cable.
