The properties ooze charm and character yet have all the contemporary facilities expected and are beautifully presented.

The two one-bedroom cottages, Button and Thimble, each benefit from their own private parking areas. The cottages have their own lpg gas tank serving three properties, mains electric, mains water and they share a septic tank with the other Lemmington Hall Estate homes.

Button Cottage

Entry to Button Cottage is via an enormous solid wood front door which leads into an open plan lounge and well-equipped kitchen area. Two windows, original to the property, overlook the beautiful front garden and are an attractive feature of both this property and its sister cottage, as they have a pretty diamond shape in the glass and deep window sills. There is a small wood burner sitting on a stone hearth, space for a two-seater sofa and space for a small dining table and chairs. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of wall and base units, an electric under bench oven, a four burner lpg gas hob with a chimney-style extractor fan above, an integrated microwave, a fully integrated slimline dishwasher, a fully integrated under bench fridge freezer, and a Belfast sink. Stylish white brick-effect splashback tiling along with polished chrome switches and sockets finish this space off nicely. A partially exposed original stone wall, exposed roof trusses and beams, a semi-vaulted ceiling and oak doors with oak architraves all add to the overall character of this room along with reclaimed wood-effect flooring.

A further oak door with a charming cottage-style handle leads into a double bedroom, also with a semi-vaulted ceiling and another of the original iron windows overlooking the front of the property, where there is a lovely paved from which to sit and admire the views. Wall lights together with chrome switches and sockets add to the contemporary feel of the room.

The ensuite is a good size and is fitted with Victorian-style sanitary ware, namely a WC with high-level cistern, a Savoy ceramic sink standing on a metal surround, and a claw foot freestanding bath with waterfall shower on shower taps above. There are lights either side of a mirror and brick-style tiling to the walls, as well as an exposed stone wall adding character to the room. A cupboard houses a washing machine and keeps it neatly out of sight, and the Baxi combi boiler is also situated in this room.

Loft access is available from this room.

A further oak door with cottage-style handle leads to the double bedroom. Again, this room has delightful flooring, as well as an open fire, semi vaulted ceiling and two original windows.
