Vendors' thoughts: "The cottage is special to us due to its location in the heart of village but offering very private space, and so close to the Norman Church to hear the Bells on Sunday morning and the proximity to the Swan and Catherine Wheel for lunch or dinner. There is so much natural light throughout and a lovely feeling of space."
