The cottage:
The Open Plan Living Area
A large, dual aspect room that houses the kitchen, dining and living areas with French doors leading onto the rear patio.
The kitchen comes well equipped with all the pots and pans, dinnerware and cutlery you should need. A fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster and Nespresso machine are provided for use along with an electric hob and single oven. We provide salt, pepper, tea, coffee, sugar and a small amount of Nespresso pods and olive oil to get you started.
Should you need to do laundry, there is also washer/dryer, iron and board. Waste bins are integrated into a cupboard, providing bins for general waste, for recycling and one for glass. You will find eco friendly, vegan and cruelty free washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaning spray and hand wash for your use while staying in the cottage.
In the centre of the kitchen is a dining table and chairs for four with eco friendly cork table mats.
The living area is set to the rear of the cottage around the French doors. A pair of comfortable two seater sofas invite you to sit back and relax, giving you the opportunity to read a book, or play a game from the selection provided.
If you’d prefer to watch TV, then a 40” Smart TV and Soundbar is provided for your entertainment; watch terrestrial channels on Freely, or log into your own streaming accounts to continue watching that show that you love. A Roberts radio is also provided for your entertainment and can be used as a bluetooth speaker. The cottage enjoys full fibre internet with speeds of up to 145Mb.
The Bedrooms
Two similar sized bedrooms can accommodate up to four guests. The rear bedroom offers a kingsize bed, wardrobe, dressing table and stool. French doors open onto the rear patio. The front bedroom has two single beds, wardrobe and chest of drawers. Both rooms enjoy bedside cabinets and lamps. All of our bedding is 100% organic or recycled cotton where possible.
The Office
A dedicated workspace with a bespoke desk should you need it while you're away.
The Bathroom
A spacious room with a generous bath and shower over, pedestal sink with mirror and shaving light. You will find eco friendly hand wash and toilet rolls made from recycled paper and manufactured in the UK.
Outdoors
To the front is a pet friendly enclosed garden for the sole use of The Old Garage. In the warmer months, a table, chairs and parasol will be out for you to enjoy some fresh air. Festoon lighting runs around the perimeter of the fencing giving a magical feel in the evenings, as well as helping to identify the cottage after dusk in this dark, rural location.
Across the gravel carriage driveway is a semi-circular grassed area with picnic benches that is for the use of both holiday cottages.
To the rear is a private gravelled rear patio with bistro table and chairs, although it is not enclosed so dogs should remain on leads at the back. It is the perfect place to sit and enjoy some breakfast or a drink with the countryside views of Thrunton Woods in the background.
There is also a shed for your use if you need to store bikes.
Parking for two cars (front to back) is provided to the side of The Old Garage.
