Well Farm Cottage“I was first attracted by the idyllic location of the cottage,” says Karen. “I love that the property is situated in a small hamlet; it is so picturesque and quiet here.”

“The hamlet is called Dalton Magna and it does have a selection of shops, restaurants and schools just a short distance away,” continues Karen. “Transport links are easily accessible, with the bus stop being just down the road. It is so lovely to have such a friendly and tightly-knit neighbourhood. Everyone always looks out for one another,” she adds. “In Dalton Magna, it is like a Sunday every day because of the peacefulness. All you can hear are the birds tweeting; it’s wonderful for going on long family walks, especially if you have a dog.”

“Since moving into the property twenty years ago, a few improvements have been made,” says Karen. “This included extending the three bed property into five bedrooms. We also changed the layout and opened the rooms up to make it brighter,” she adds. “Although we modernised the property we still kept the attractive, traditional beams.”

“The house is superb for entertaining purposes and over the years we have had many parties,” explains Karen. “There is so much space in the kitchen area that it is perfect for having a large number of guests and there is also a separate dining room area. The garden area is approximately half an acre, which can be strolled into from the French doors. My favourite room would definitely have to be the kitchen as it is the heart of the home.”

“Well Farm Cottage would make the ideal family home for those that love to entertain. It is a very sociable house,” says Karen. “It would be great for those looking to relocate to a tranquil and peaceful hamlet. It provides the perfect lifestyle. Until you have lived here you don’t realise how brilliant it is.”*
