Owner's Description
The cottage is attached to the farmhouse of a working farm just outside the village of Fleckney, in the south of Leicestershire. The centrally heated accommodation comprises a large farmhouse kitchen / diner, lounge, double bedroom, dressing room, shower room and a garden room.
The south facing cottage is entered via a garden room which is a real sun-trap. At one end of this are the laundry facilities comprising a washing machine and tumble dryer. The original front door leads into a very generously proportioned farmhouse kitchen with fridge (including freezer compartment), cooker, microwave and all the utensils, crockery and cutlery necessary to make your stay as straight-forward as possible. Sitting at the kitchen table, you can look across the garden towards our pond.
A complimentary welcome tray with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits awaits you on arrival. Books and magazines are provided together with games and jigsaws for a rainy day.
From the kitchen, a door leads into the lounge with a bay window overlooking the garden. There's a sofa to relax on after a day in the country, and a television with digital freeview box to catch up on the day's events.
The lounge leads onto the peaceful double bedroom furnished with a large dressing table, mirror, hairdryer, lamps and bed-side table.
Attached to the bedroom is the dressing room with plenty of wardrobe space. The dressing room leads onto a large, stylish shower room with WC and hand basin.
Outside, our large south facing garden and patio is available for the use of our guests, should you wish to relax with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the fields.
